YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Charitable donations blessed the Yuma Boys and Girls Club. With the help the Optimist Club of Yuma, JCPenney Communities Foundation, and Prison Hill Brewing Company, the Boys and Girls Club has been able to transform the old teen center to a teen takeover.
The re-imagined space includes several rooms for the kids to enjoy including an art room, computer lab, STEM room, and music space.
Vice President of the Regional Impact Boys & Girls club of the Valley, Liz Byrne, says they are so grateful for all the donors to make this all possible.
“We are a nonprofit, and in order to actually provide the services that we need to serve the community, we need that assistance, and we really, really appreciate their support,” said Byrne.
The Boys and Girls Club opened in 2022 with less than 40 kids. Now, they’ve grown to around 200.
