For the first time, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati presents a three-day event to promote its new program model, simply called GRADUATE, FITFORLIFE and READYTOSERVE. Each day will focus on a different piece of our program, but together will make up a new weekend titled: BE GREAT Cincinnati.

Our overall vision of the BGCGC’s first annual Day of Service is one of creativity and empowerment. The service project will be designed to enable families to learn the importance of service and working together. Since this is our first year implementing such an event, the opportunities are endless when planning the overall day. This is why we feel having student leadership from XU and UC facilitating the planning process, with support from BGCGC kids and staff, will result in a day with volunteer activities that are fun, inspirational and make a lasting impact within our City.

Day of Service Objectives:

·         The event date: April 29, 2012 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

·         Event participants to include children, teens and adults

·         Projects will encourage participants to learn first-hand what it means to BE GREAT!

·         Volunteer activities will be fun, inspirational and make a lasting impact within our City.
