2012 Annual Report - The Boys and Girls Club of the Greater
2012 Annual Report Welcome | Letter from executive director Dear Friends of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley, What a wonderful year it has been! Thanks to the generous support of foundations, corporations and individuals like you, we are able to make a difference in the lives of more than 3,000 children in 2012! Among many highlights, 2012 was a year of growth and expansion for the Boys & Girls Club. In just 12 short months, we went from a single Club in Eau Claire, to an organization with three site locations across the Chippewa Valley. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley serve the Mary Markquart Center in Eau Claire, as well as the Jackson County Center in Black River Falls and the Chippewa Falls Center. In January, we officially acquired the Boys & Girls Club of Jackson County. The acquisition was a positive step to bring resources and staff together to form a stronger Club in Jackson County. It has been a great year for the Jackson County Center, with a newly remodeled Teen Room, enhanced health and fitness programming, and new fundraising efforts to establish a deeper foundation of support for the Club. After a very busy year of hard work and planning by the steering committee, the Chippewa Falls Center opened its doors in December and became the third organization under the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley’s umbrella. The Club is located at 21 East Grand Avenue, downtown Chippewa Falls, in the Chippewa Falls Museum of Industry and Technology. The Club currently is serving over 30 youth members after school each day and is on track to grow substantially in membership this summer. If you haven’t been to the Club in Chippewa, I invite you to stop by and take a tour! The Mary Markquart Center in Eau Claire continues to grow as well. In 2012, we saw great improvements in transportation for Club members, helping to nearly double the attendance each day. A brand new Technology Center for both youth and teens was installed, and the Snack and Dinner Program was greatly enhanced with a focus on fresh ingredients, helping members learn to live a healthy lifestyle. Although our reach has greatly expanded this past year, the need does not stop there. Communities in Menomonie and Altoona are also in the process of establishing a Boys & Girls Club as well, to help give youth in their community a safe and productive place to learn and realize their full potential. We are looking forward to working with them over the next few years and making all of our Boys & Girls Clubs stronger. On behalf of the Club staff and board members, I would like to thank you for your support. Great Futures really do Start Here at the Boys & Girls Club. With your help, it is possible! Sincerely yours, Sara Antonson Executive Director 1 Our Vision Our Mission The Boys & Girls Club will become an ongoing community resource to enable young people to reach their full potential, gain self-esteem and become responsible citizens. To inspire and enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. 2012 Board Officers Craig Olsen, President Terry McHugh, Vice President Lori Hoeft, Secretary Shannon Geisler, Treasurer Jennifer Nohelty, Past President Trevor Bohland, VP of Resource Development Deb Fischer, VP of Support Services Tony Benedict, VP of Operations Meet our Staff Corporate Office Sara Antonson, Executive Director Tracey Smiskey, Chief Development Officer Samantha Phillipps, Marketing & RD Coordinator Ashley McKee, Office Manager Chip pewa Falls Center Travis Austad, Program Coordinator Sue Layman, Membership Coordinator 2012 Board of Directors Jackson Cou nty Center Tim Cruciani Holly Hart Ron Heilmann Carl Holmquist Jerry Jacobson Claire Johnson Lee Markquart William Milne Diane Moen-Ross, Center Director Kelly LaBar, Program Coordinator Cassie Goetzka, Membership Coordinator Mary Markq uart Center Travis Ida, Center Director Kyle Reinke, Program Coordinator Tessa Hermundson, Membership Coordinator 2 Chippewa Falls Center | 2012 HighlIghts On December 26th, 2012, the Chippewa Falls Center officially opened and became part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley family. After two years of planning and deliberation by the steering committee, comprised of business and community leaders of Chippewa Falls, the Club settled into its new home. The new Boys & Girls Club is located at 21 East Grand Avenue, in partnership with the Chippewa Falls Museum of Industry and Technology. Thanks to this partnership and shared space, the Club is able to provide the youth of Chippewa Falls a safe place to go after school and on school breaks. With a small annual fee of $10, members participate in each of five core program areas: Character & Leadership Health & Life Skills The Arts Sports, Fitness & Recreation Education & Career 3 “I support the Boys & Girls Club because it allows all youth a chance to enrich and improve their lives. The youth of the Chippewa Falls community will be able to come to the Club every day, where caring and friendly staff and volunteers can hear about their days, help them complete their homework and inspire them to succeed.” -Jerry Jacobson, Northwestern Bank and Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors “The Boys & Girls Club is about helping kids in Chippewa Falls! We need to provide them with opportunities and to mentor their ambitions. Their curiosity will do the rest.” -Dave Mayer, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company “I think the Boys & Girls Club is an excellent option for kids and families in Chippewa. I can see a great benefit to having the Club, especially the services that help prep teens for college, including touring and campus visits.” -Wendy Stelter, Chippewa Falls Police Chief 4 Jackson County Center | 2012 HighlIghts Yo uth of th e Y ear Because of her service to the Club, academic achievements, strong moral character, and life goals, Destiny was honored as the 2012 Youth of the Year. Destiny was able to enjoy two days in Madison and share her speech with other Youth of the Year members across the state. “I learned that there are a lot of people out there who are like me and experience the life I do.” -Destiny, 2012 Youth of the Year Ju nior Staff Thanks to a generous grant from the Ho-Chunk Nation, our Junior Staff program offered new opportunities this year. Members learned about leadership skills, how to set and accomplish goals, and participated in activities such as the Downtown Christmas Window Contest. N e w T e en Lo u n g e A new Teen Lounge was completed this year thanks to generosity of Club donors. This new area is fully furnished with new carpeting and furniture that provides a special space for teen programming and free time. It is also equipped with two new laptops for teens to complete their homework and conduct research. 5 01 Tr ipl e Pl ay Prog r am This year, the Jackson County Center was a proud recipient of a Boys & Girls Clubs of America Triple Play grant. The resources from this grant help to fund programs that improve the health and life skills of Club members. By focusing on the program’s key components - mind, body and soul - members have learned everything from making healthy food choices to starting daily fitness routines. L eRoy Butl er P u nt, Pass and K ick Day This year Club members participated in a competition of football-drill-fun with Packer Legend LeRoy Butler. Butler also attended the 12 th Annual Anniversary Dinner and served as the event’s keynote speaker. Fort McC oy Fi eld Tr ip Members of the Jackson County Center had the opportunity to visit the Fort McCoy Airport in 2012. While visiting, members got to go inside a small plane, tour the aircraft hangars, go up inside the radio tower, and even watched a helicopter land while in the tower. Members were able to learn all about what it’s like to be a pilot and work at an airport hangar. 6 Mary Markquart Center | 2012 HighlIghts Snack and M eal Prog r am Part of living a healthy lifestyle is eating healthy. The Snack and Meal Program served 23,973 healthy meals and snacks in 2012, with an emphasis on fresh and healthy ingredients. By serving fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, brown rice, and homemade recipes, Club members are receiving healthy and balanced meals. H ealthy Habits Natio nal R ecip e C o nt est This year the youth members and volunteer staff submitted a recipe to the national “Cheap Eats Healthy Recipe Contest” proposed by the Boys & Girls Club of America. By creating a recipe that was healthy, affordable, and could serve a family of four, the Club proudly won the contest! Expand ed Tr ansp ortation S ervic es Thanks to a new partnership with Student Transit, the Club was able to greatly expand transportation services for the 2012-2013 school year. In addition to the transportation the Boys & Girls Club van provides for four local schools, Student Transit is now offering transportation from four more schools to the Club. This new service has greatly increased the average daily attendance of the after school program, allowing many more youth to experience the Boys & Girls Club. 7 N e w T ec h nology C ent er In order to provide the best learning environment for the Club members, the Club Tech Technology Center was completely revamped. Thanks to a generous grant from community partners, we have installed 24 new computers and desk terminals, new wiring, and new network capabilities. Special thanks to: United Bank in partnership with the John T. Vucurevich Foundation, the Best Buy Children’s Foundation, Eau Claire Community Foundation, Walmart Foundation, Kwik Trip, and the AnnMarie Foundation. Yo uth of th e Y ear To honor one of the Club’s most outstanding members, Aliana was named the 2012 Youth of the Year for the Mary Markquart Center. She was the perfect candidate, with her eagerness to help staff and ability to be an excellent role model to other members. As part of this experience, Aliana traveled to Madison to meet other Youth of the Year members from across the state. She also had the opportunity to visit the Capitol and meet some local legislators. K eyston e Clu b Keystone Club aims to enable teens to work together on projects that have a positive impact on other members, the Club and the overall community. In 2012, teen members learned about different non-profit organizations in the Chippewa Valley. By visiting Bolton Refuge House, The Community Table, Azura Memory Care, and the Severson Home, the members received a first-hand learning experience in giving back to the community. 8 Who we serve | 2012 Member demographics Mary Markq uart C ent er Membership 789 G end er Male: 53% Female: 47% E th nicit y African American: 3% American Indian: 1% Asian: 9% Hispanic or Latino: 4% White: 74% Two or More Races: 9% Ag e 8-10 years old: 40% 11-13 years old: 35% 14-18 years old: 25% Ho us e h old Annual I ncom e Less than $14,000: 28% $14,000 to $25,999: 30% $26,000 to $35,999: 10% $36,000 to $45,999: 11% $46,000 to $61,000: 9% More than $62,000: 12% Single Parent Family Structure: 43% Members qualifying for free or reduced school lunch: 61% Av er ag e Da ily At t endanc e After School Program: 52 9 Summer Program: 137 01 Jackson County Center Membership 165 Ethnicity Gender Male: 57% Female: 43% Age 8-10 years old: 58% 11-13 years old: 35% 14-18 years old: 7% African American: 1% American Indian: 13% Asian: 1% Hispanic or Latino: 1% White: 78% Two or More Races: 6% Household Annual Income Less than $14,000: 23% $26,000 to $35,999: 9% $46,000 to $61,000: 12% $14,000 to $25,999: 17% $36,000 to $45,999: 9% More than $62,000: 30% Single Parent Family Structure: 39% Members qualifying for free or reduced school lunch: 45% Average Daily Attendance: After School Program: 49 Summer Program: 58 10 Financials | 2012 annual report Revenue $770,110 Contributions Grants Special Events Program Fees Other $361,875 $197,845 $154,642 $53,195 $2,553 Total $770,110 1% Contributions 7% Grants 20% 26% Special Events 47% Program Fees Other Expenses $747,844 Program Services Fundraising Administration $512,408 $123,350 $112,086 Total $747,844 15% 16% 11 Program Services 69% Fundraising Administration 01 2012 donors | Chippewa falls center Thank you to everyone who has given in some way to the Boys & Girls Club.
