Since 1930, the Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem has been forging Great Futures for local youth. Through engaging programs in Education, Leadership, Wellness, Recreation, and the Arts, the Club has been a needed haven for our children both then and now. We fill a critical need for today’s youth by not only providing these programs, but also by assisting with homework completion, serving hot meals, and providing positive and consistent mentorship.

It will come as no surprise that programs like ours don’t “just happen”. These offerings are the result of caring people like you choosing to support our mission financially. It is in the spirit of support and community that we extend this invitation to you! We are hosting the annual Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem Steak & Burger Dinner on Friday, October 18, 2024 at WindCreek Bethlehem. This event brings our community of supporters together for a fun-filled evening to meet and share a meal with our kids.

In addition to celebrating our youth, this year we are excited to be honoring Donna Taggart.

Donna’s work as a team leader, community coordinator and project manager has helped dozens of boroughs and cities to improve their economic competitiveness and quality of life for the people who live there. Her extensive knowledge of federal and state programs has helped many of these communities achieve major milestones in their redevelopment efforts. During her career working in the public and not-for-profit sectors, Donna’s community economic development projects leveraged over $30 million in public financial incentives. Donna aims to make an impact in the community where she was born, raised and still lives.

The Taggart Family Foundation was established in memory of Donna's late husband, Glenn, and focuses on providing services, experiences, and education to those living in poverty. The Foundation is a longstanding supporter of BGCOB Southside programming that impacts hundreds of young people every year!

Below you will find sponsorship opportunities with further details about how you can be a part of and support this fun-filled fundraiser. Now, more than ever, your support for this event will help to ensure that the Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem can continue providing needed support to the youth we serve for years to come. We truly hope to see you there!
