In a statement, BGCD Board Chair Shanda McKinney said, “We began our partnership with Kohl’s over a year ago and we have been fortunate to have their associates volunteer for the Club and now this amazing gift will enable us to continue building great futures.”
McKinney also said that the club will use the grant money to pay for supplies, materials, programming, operations and faculty needs to reach out to more children and families in west Dayton.
Kohl’s said that the donations were funded by the Kohl’s Cares program, which sells children’s books and toys and donates the profit to charitable organizations.
BGCD CEO Tara Marlow said, “We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the support of the Kohl’s associates and all their customers who purchased items in the store to make this incredible gift possible.”
