Season of Giving – 2025 Annual Campaign


At the James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn, our mission is simple; to inspire youth to find their greatness. Every year, at six different locations across Woburn, more than 1,230 kids and teens walk through our doors and find a safe, welcoming space where they can learn, play, and grow. From homework help and enrichment activities in art and STEM, to sports and recreation, every program builds ownership, leadership, and strong, healthy relationships that prepare members to be their best selves.

We keep membership at just $25 per year, but it costs the Club about $1,850 per child each year to provide these life-changing opportunities. Thanks to generous donors, grants and community partners, families never have to face the true cost alone. Nearly 70% of our annual funding comes from fundraising efforts – making your support essential to sustaining our mission.

Just as the seasons change, so do the needs of our youth. This year, our staff and volunteers expanded programming, added initiatives to support members’ basic needs, and even helped 30 teens earn their ServSafe Certification – giving them real skills and brighter opportunities for the future.

Now, we invite you to join our Season of Giving campaign to help us continue changing lives and reach our $100,000 goal. Together, we can ensure that every young person has the chance to thrive.

FUND OUR MISSION. Your generous gift of any amount directly supports the Club’s ability to open its doors to 250+ kids and teens each afternoon. Here are some examples of how your gift will be used to inspire our youth:

    • $50 provides two annual scholarships to the Clubhouse program
    • $100 provides one month of a “weekend food backpack” to a Club family
    • $250 provides one week of healthy afternoon snacks
    • $500 provides college & workforce mentorship to ten teenagers
    • $1,000 provides free summer lunch for ten youth



DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT. This Season of Giving, your generosity will go twice as far. Thanks to a generous Club donor, every gift made will be matched dollar-for-dollar until we reach a total of $25,000 in gifts. That means every gift, big or small, will be doubled until we reach the match. Your support helps us get closer to our $100,000 goal twice as fast. 

Your support provides Club kids with safe spaces, caring mentors, and life-changing opportunities – from homework help and enrichment programs to basic needs support. Together, we can continue our mission of inspiring youth to find their greatness!

Give today and help us build a brighter future for our Club kids.

HOW WE’RE RECOGNIZING GIFTS THIS SEASON. As part of our Season of Giving campaign, every gift will be celebrated with a simple token of thanks. Each month, gifts will be recognized in a fun, seasonal way – from pumpkins in October, to leaves in November, and stars in December.

Donors’ names (if they choose) will be displayed on these symbols in our Club’s front window, creating a growing showcase of community support. Each week, we will also share an updated social media post to thank all who have contributed.

Together, these displays remind our members and families that it truly takes a village – and every gift helps change lives.
