Children, more so these days than ever before, need safe and respectful places in their lives. We accept kids without barriers. Providing such service, however, is not without its challenges. Like most non-profit organizations, BGCC is lacking the funding required to supply the demand for clubs. Also, we are challenged with responding to the needs of an increasingly diverse nation of children, a reality that we are very sensitive to.
Sustainability is a factor as well.
Sustainability is largely dependent upon the generosity of individuals and corporations. While volunteer membership is high, Sproule says more people are always welcome and needed. The financial contributions of corporate sponsors are also greatly needed and appreciated. Sears Canada has made significant contributions to the organization for the past 30 years. Without the support of volunteers and sponsors, many of the 600 plus programs BGCC delivers would not be possible.
