| Today, I am helping open the 5,000th Boys & Girls Club. I'll be in South Elgin, Illinois, to celebrate, but most importantly, I'll be with the kids who call this new Club their second home. Yes, this is a huge milestone—but it is so much more—it's a commitment to continue doing whatever it takes for today's young people. Together, let's help give kids 5,000 more hours at the Club by raising $50,000 by the end of this month. |  | | | | |
| It costs $10 to give one child an hour at the Boys & Girls Club — but what does an hour at the Club really mean? |  | | It means an hour of help with homework to ace a test. |  | | It means a warm, nutritious meal — maybe the only one of the day. |  | | It means time with a caring adult to build confidence. | | |
| For me, $10 is all it took for me to realize my potential. When I was a kid at the Club, one of the staff said to me: "With your smarts, you could be anything you want to be." I had never heard anybody say that to me. I remember leaving the Club thinking I could be a fireman, the president. In that hour—that was the first time I realized I could be anything. Let's give kids more hours and more champions like that. | | |
| As the national spokesperson for Boys & Girls Clubs of America for three decades, I promised I would stand by Club kids no matter what. Will you stand by Club kids, too? | | | | |
