Easter Festivities Planned for Upcoming Boys & Girls Club Drop-In Day
On April 2, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri will participate in an “Easter Extravaganza” party courtesy of US Bank employees as part of the Club’s Drop-In program at 314 S. Washington in Sedalia, MO.
The “Easter Extravaganza” party will include Easter egg dyeing, an Easter egg hunt and a pizza party.
“This is a special opportunity for our members,” said Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s executive director, Brett Barth-Fagan. “The generosity of the US Bank employees never ceases to amaze me.”
Local US Bank employees have brought this Easter celebration to life for the past few years by donating money to the Club as part of their Casual Friday donation program. If a bank employee chooses to wear casual clothing on a Friday, they contribute money to the program to later be donated to a chosen charity. This year, employees chose to donate $262 to the Club for the “Easter Extravaganza” party.
“The Boys & Girls Club is very dear to all of the US Bank employees,” said local US Bank representative, Cathy Chancellor. “US Bank has some of the most generous employees and whenever there is a cause they are always anxious to give; they want to be there for the community.”
As with all Club Drop-In days, the Club will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., the cost is $5 per member and youth six to 18 years old may attend.
