Welcome, Jeremiah Milbank Society Members!
During the Be Great SA Challenge Campaign, longtime Jeremiah Milbank Society members, Richard & Lana Breakie, were joined by three new JMS members in their support of the mission of BGCSA.
Thank you and welcome to our newest JMS members,
Jim & Cathy Bodenstedt and Dr. Francisco Gallegos.
Jeremiah Milbank (1887 - 1972) was a man of remarkable accomplishments as a businessman, financier, and philanthropist. A lifelong believer in volunteerism, Jeremiah Milbank helped President Herbert Hoover develop the Boys & Girls Club national organization that provides support services for Clubs serving disadvantaged youth. Throughout his lifetime, Milbank gave a fortune to help those in need. His extraordinary and life-long concern for youth and those less fortunate has changed the lives of millions and is the inspiration for The Jeremiah Milbank Society- an elite national recognition society for individuals who make an unrestricted gift of $10,000 or more to local Clubs.

| BGCSA Hosts Club-wide Challenge BBQ
During the Be Great SA Challenge, the staff at all Club Branches banded together to host a BBQ plate sale for Club families and supporters across the city.
The event's success is attributed to several key sponsors including Two Brothers BBQ Market, HEB, Kiolbassa, Cinco de Guyos, Creative Link, Labatt Foods, Sysco, and Mix 96.1. Special thanks also to these organizations for their support: Endura Advisory Group, Avance, Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, and YWCA. Our board members, friends, sponsors and Club staff truly made this first time event a success. |
