Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin

We are so thankful for Pacific Gas and Electric Company as they recently delivered 150 STEM kits they created for our Club Members! This generosity provides kids with the tools they need to learn about STEM and ignite their passions. This is just one of many examples of how our corporate partners play a role in the lives of our Members by giving them access to things they may not otherwise have. We love working with organizations that champion our vision of building great futures! If you're interested in partnering with us, please email Hayley Bly at hbly@bgcsonoma-marin.org. #BGCSM #BGCA #PacificGasandElectric #CorporatePartners #PartnerWithUs #CommunityPartnerships #SonomaCounty #MarinCounty #WhateverItTakes #BuildGreatFutures #YouthEmpowerment ---- Jennifer Weiss, Michelle Edwards Heery, Andrea Coen, Paul-Louis ("P.L.")
