Family Strengthening Award Winners
Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Annie E. Casey Foundation are proud to announce the winners of the 2009 Family Strengthening Awards. Funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Family Strengthening Awards encourage Boys & Girls Club organizations to ensure that all families have opportunities and networks to realize their aspirations for their children. The $10,000 award was presented to one Boys & Girls Club at each Regional Impact Conference (six in all) that are doing an exemplary job of advancing the simple premise that children thrive when their families are strong and their communities are supportive. Congratulations to Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County, N.C.; Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe, N.M.; Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield, Mo.; Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County, Wash.; Greater Milford Boys & Girls Club, Dele.; and Salesian Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles, Calif.
