MT. AIRY, GA – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier (BGCL) held its Faith & Futures community partnership breakfast on March 27 at the Tim Lee Boys & Girls Club in Mt. Airy. The event brought together local church and community leaders to support the organization’s mission of serving Habersham County youth.
During the event, BGCL Advisory Chairman Wade Rhodes highlighted the club’s impact, stating that it served 544 youth across six locations in 2024. The organization provides a safe and supportive environment where students can thrive physically, emotionally, and mentally.
One of the key programs discussed was Faith for Futures, a collaborative effort between BGCL and the community that focuses on character development and leadership through faith-based activities.
“Each child that enters one of our Clubs enters through a door of opportunity that assures success and exposes them to unique and creative strategies to embrace a brighter future,” said BGCL’s Chief Executive Officer, Steve Mickens. “This movement is a movement of saving lives, and it is our responsibility to ensure youth have the tools and resources they need to reach their full potential.”
The event featured Pastor Ryan Ginn of Purpose Church leading the occasion and prayer, and a southern-style breakfast donated by Food Factory. BGCL’s Co-Directors of Development, Kendall Sims and Brittany White, concluded the event by sharing a call-to-action for the community to get involved and help BGCL make an even greater impact on Habersham’s youth.
