JULY 27, 2023 | TOPGOLF LOUISVILLE
We aim to launch a new and improved Alumni Association to connect Boys & Girls Clubs alums with each other, become more involved in our organization, and build a stronger community network.
To celebrate the kick-off of our Alumni Association, we are hosting a fun outing at Topgolf for all Boys & Girls Clubs alumni and friends. Registration is free, but space is limited and filled on a first come first serve basis! Registration includes golfing bays, food, and drinks.
Celebrated since 1941, National Boys & Girls Club Week recognizes the invaluable service Clubs bring to communities, paving the road for great futures that are within reach of every young person who enters our doors.
