Jaene Miranda President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County is presented the keys to a brand new van by Tony Barnett the National Director of Cause Marketing for Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Derek Cooper of Comcast at Marjorie S. Fisher Boys & Girls Club on November 10, 2016. Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County youth receives a new backpack from Comcast during Back2School event with Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

The new vehicle will be used to help the organization with transporting kids and teens to the facility after-school. The critical resource is vital in helping local youth get the opportunity to attend a Club to engage in Club programming and activities like homework help, STEM learning, coding, sports and leadership clubs. 

Comcast employees at the company's headquarters in Philadelphia helped fill the bus with donated supplies back in September. In addition, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County will be awarded $25,000 cash as well as other donated supplies from partners with a value of more than $25,000 including:

  • Kid Collection Socks from Gold Toe®
  • $3,000 in Gift Cards from JoAnn Fabrics & Craft Stores
  • Art with Edge Coloring Books, Ultra-Clean Washable Markers and Colored Pencils from Crayola
  • Softgrip Rulers, Deluxe-Double Sharpeners, Student Scissors, Kids Scissors from Fiskars
  • Nutra-Bars from ViSalus
  • 200 new Backpacks from Burlington Stores
  • $300 in Gift Cards from Family Dollar
  • Black G2 gel ink pens from Pilot Pen

In addition, Lenovo will provide a technology center makeover based upon the needs of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.

"Thank you to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Comcast and other partners for this incredible award that will make a tremendous impact for our kids and teens," said Jaene Miranda, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. "This new van will be a positive symbol of pride and opportunity for our young people. Additional transportation will help more kids and teens have the opportunity to experience our programs and ultimately enable more youth in Palm Beach County to achieve a great future."

"We know how vital having the right tools can be to a child's education, so at Comcast we are thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs locally and across the country through the Back2School Stuff the Bus challenge," said Derek Cooper, Vice President of Government Affairs and Community Investment for the Comcast Florida Region. "We know this new vehicle and all the supplies it is filled with will have a major positive impact on the youth served by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County."

The Back2School campaign aligns with Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Great Futures Campaign, which calls attention to the crisis facing kids and elevates the role of out-of-school time in reversing negative trends in the areas of poor academic performance, obesity, drug use, and youth-related violence. The Great Futures Campaign for America's kids is mobilizing the nation in support of after-school and summer programs that tackle these issues to inspire and empower more youth toward success.
