George W. Buck Boys & Girls Club of Joliet 5K Run/Walk

Please join us in supporting the George Werden Buck Boys & Girls Club of Joliet by participating in our Inaugural 5K Run/Walk.

The Mission Statement of the Boys & Girls Club: “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”

At no cost to our members, the Club provides educational programming and tutoring, health and life skills, sports, fitness, and recreation, and meals through the Northern Illinois Food Bank. All in a safe place to learn and grow.

With your support, we cannot only continue to provide our members with vital services and opportunities but can grow our membership and provide services to a larger portion of our community. Donations in any amount are a great way to support the G W Buck Boys & Girls Club even if you can’t take part in the event. To donate, please visit our website. https://www.bgcjoliet.com/

This is a non-profit event. All proceeds and donations go directly to the G W Buck Boys & Girls Club.
