The Club gave me all the stepping-stones I needed to move forward. I will always be a part of it and it will always be a major part of me.
-Edward Castillo, Student, Austin Community College
The Club saved my life, and it means more to me than I can express. These kids were once like me – a little lost, a little scared and quite unsure about the future. I’m thankful for the work BGCAA and all the other Clubs across the U.S. do each day and even more thankful that I can be here to help.
- Brian Jones, BGCAA Board Member, Former UT and NFL Linebacker
As a kid I could ride my bike to the Club in the summertime and have a blast and escape the heat. So when I had the chance to give back to my community years later, I chose the Club Board to do my part to help the Great Kids of Austin who need us most! And when I see their smiles - I'm reminded of my own good times as a Club kid.
- Dan Listrom, Former BGCAA Board President
The Club gave me a place to discover who I was, and more important, who I could be. At some point I think purpose finds you. For me, the Club allowed me to find my purpose.
