BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF GREATER PEORIA Celebrating Sponsors and Contributors

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Peoria extend a heartfelt thank you to our many supporters, volunteers and the 2,000 people who gathered for the July 4 Family Fun Fest in Kelleher’s parking lot. The annual Fun Fest featured family entertainment, amusements and all you can eat from the food court! Reserved parking places, and some of the best spots on the river front to watch the fire works made this one of the Clubs most successful events. All proceeds from the festival go directly to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Peoria tutoring and mentoring programs where special emphasis is placed on increased school attendance, improved grade point averages, and the importance of graduation. Thanks to all and we hope to see you next year !
