The Boys & Girls Clubs of Durham and Orange Counties hosted its 2024 Great Futures Breakfast at its Durham club location on May 9. More than 100 friends of the organization and community members enjoyed breakfast, heard from several presenters – including volunteer leaders, Club member ambassadors and Mayor Leonardo Williams – and pledged their support to the nonprofit. The breakfast exceeded its fundraising goal of $100,000, providing operational funding for summer camps at BGCDOC’s locations in Durham and Chapel Hill. “The Great Futures Breakfast stands as a testament to the power of community solidarity in uplifting the lives of our youth,” says BGCDOC Chief Executive Officer Jerome Levisy. “We extend profound appreciation to each individual and organization for their invaluable contributions to today’s success.”
