“The investment Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas made in my life from the age of six put me on a path that developed me as a student, an athlete, an engineer, and a man that I am today. The work that BGCD does in the Dallas community is transformative forthe lives of many, who then go on to change the lives of many more. I am grateful every day for my Boys & Girls Club.”
