n Testimonials
“I was looking for an opportunity to give back to our
community and when selecting an organization I wanted to
choose an organization that meant something to me. When
I was a youth growing up in Springfield, I spent countless
hours at the Boys Club on Boonville Street so the Boys &
Girls Clubs have a personal meaning to me as they helped
shape the person I have become”
— Ron Moses, Board Member
“Without the Club, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to go
to college and would more than likely be heading down
the wrong path”. — Jaydun Syndor, Youth of the Year
“I want him to go to a place where he is cared for by the
staff and will be active, not only physically but mentally”.
— Marcia, Club Member Parent
