The Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro is in real need. Our faithful 15 passenger van is old and very broken. After a recent trip to the dealer for yearly maintainence our van was deemed unsafe for extended travel without almost $7000.00 in repairs. The Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro gives members from all over the region opportunities they would not recieve elsewhere, everything from going on college visits, to trips to the city and beyond.   You can see our van is more than a convenience, we need this valuable piece to meet the needs of our members and their families. After an incident more than 2 years ago when a member was brutually attacked while walking home we started driving members home at 11 o'clock pm on Friday nights to assure their safety. Every week the van is full. During the summer months when our members need us the most we provide a summer camp program for all families regardless of ability to pay. We used our van  every day to transport campers to swimming holes, hiking, sports, and so much more. 
Please consider supporting us ...every dollar will help. Without the 15 passenger van, we will need to change what we do which will affect our 1200 members in a profound way. Thank you in advance for supporting the youth in our community.
