Members of the Lake Tahoe Boys & Girls Club Builder’s Club raised $100 to donate to the organization BADRAP.

Builder’s Club is a leadership program for middle school students which meets at the Boys & Girls Club main site every Monday at 3:30pm. The program is a collaborative partnership with the Kiwanis Club of the Sierra, Kiwanis International, and the Boys & Girls Club of America, and provides youth with leadership skills through service. Participants elect officers, learn how to conduct meetings, and identify needs for community service.

Club members identified an issue several months ago that they were passionate about through BADRAP. BADRAP began as a resource for pit bulls and their people in the Bay Area in 1999 and has grown to a national sensation providing information, training, disaster relief and animal welfare program models to help dogs everywhere.

This project is one of the many ways the Boys & Girls Club is having a lasting impact on its 870 members.

The Builder’s Club will host an open house March 12 from 6-8pm at the club’s main site, 1100 Lyons Ave., South Lake Tahoe The public is welcome and a free dinner will be provided.
