Each year, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pee Dee Area recognize a Champion for Youth, and this year we are excited to recognize longtime supporter and board member Erik Marechal. This year's event will be held on Tuesday, September 16, in the lobby of the SiMT - Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology at Florence-Darlington Technical College, 1951 Pisgah Road, Florence.
The Tribute event supports programs that help thousands of children throughout the Pee Dee grow into productive adults. Attendance and financial contributions will help brighten the lives of some of our community’s most promising children. The Boys & Girls Clubs serve youth every day after school and all day on non-school days and during the summer. Clubs provide a safe place where young people can learn and grow while helping them become productive citizens.
