DORCHESTER, MA — Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester’s Welcoming Wednesday at our Walter Denney Youth Center celebrated Hispanic Heritage Night with the neighborhood from Harbor Point. Members, families and friends shared a night full of music and dancing, enjoyed festive food and together created a beautiful floral and weave mural on our fence.

To continue the celebration, BGCD Member Coordinator, Tara L. created a beautiful lobby display honoring Hispanic Heritage. This display serves as a learning piece to learn more about the Hispanic culture as our members enter the building each day.

ORLANDO, FL — Now in its 30th year, 150 children and chaperones traveled to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida for an unforgettable week as part of the annual Rodman Disney for Kids Program with BGCD.

The program is funded by Rodman for Kids, and the many friends and partners who support their efforts. Rodman for Kids is dedicated to continuing Don Rodman’s legacy by providing members of our Clubs and our partner organizations opportunities and memories that will last a lifetime. Our Club members had an amazing time this year as they visited different parks including Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, Hollywood Studios and more.

Thank you for giving our youth this once in a lifetime opportunity!
