Cannonball Challenge
Tax deductible
"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples." Mother Teresa
The Cannonball Challenge is a summer campaign developed by and for the Boys & Girls Club (BGC) of Bulloch County to raise funds and increase awareness through the Power of One. One person is all it takes to start a Ripple Effect, hence the reason for the Cannon Ball. Also, it doesn’t take a donation of $100, $500, or $1,000 to make a difference in the life of a child at the Club. One person can donate as little as $1 to make a positive impact.
Using mostly social media platforms, the BGC hopes to have the support of the entire community by accepting the Cannonball Challenge and making a minimum donation of $1. The Cannonball Challenge kick-off begins in a big way Memorial Day Weekend and run through July 31st so people can include the challenge in their summer activities that are surrounded by water. It will be a fun and exciting way for people of all ages to get involved in supporting a local non-profit organization.
