JCC benefit for Boys and Girls Clubs of Hartford a big success

Hartford - In an effort to draw attention to the problems facing children living in poverty in Hartford, Brad Drazen of NBC CT and Andy Katz of ESPN teamed up with over 150 participants on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Mandell Jewish Community Center in West Hartford to raise money to support the work of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford.  

Help a Child BE GREAT: A Workout to Benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford is expected to raise more than $40,000.   

The dollars raised will be used to fund BGCH's core programs that encourage and empower young people to make positive choices to support and nurture their physical and personal well-being, from good nutrition and exercise to positive relationship-building and stress management.
