‘THEY ARE NOT IN THIS ALONE’ Boys & Girls Club of Muncie sets fundraising goal for 85th anniversary.
Pauleina Brunnemer Reporter With the simple buzz of the back door, visitors are welcomed into what has been known as a “safe place” for the children of Muncie for 85 years: the Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie (BGC). While Jason Newman, CEO of BGC of Muncie, has only been in the position for a year, he said he has witnessed more than 1,000 volunteers come together to support the 250 children BGC of Muncie serves. “We have always been a safe place for kids. The definition of what a safe place for kids is, and what that requires, has changed over the past 85 years,” Newman said. “That has been the one standard throughout every year.” Each child the BGC serves carries a unique story with them — something Newman said he has witnessed during his time at the organization.
