Sponsorship Opportunities

Support the ClubThe Wareham Boys & Girls Club was founded in 1982after the Town of Wareham closed its Recreation Department due to budget cuts. In June of 2007, thestruggling Wareham Club merged with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford as a way to accessadministrative, financial and programming support.

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford/Wareham is an autonomous 501(c) (3) organizationthat relies on local support to serve the youth of ourcommunity. As a national affiliate of the Boys & GirlsClub of America, the Club receives national media exposure, is accountable to national standards and hasaccess to a variety of programs and curriculum. TheWareham site offers a wide array of programming including; academics, computer technology, fitness,health and athletics, arts, and community service.

The current economic downturn has put increasing financial pressure on Club resources to operate bothNew Bedford and Wareham locations. Your support isnecessary to keep the momentum going, especially toserve the youth in greater Wareham.

Youth and their families rely on the Boys & Girls Club toprovide a safe, affordable, constructive environmentstaffed by caring trained adults. Your donations provide the operational support for the Club to serveall youth but, especially those who need us most.
