Boys + Girls Club receives donation for new facility
The Boys & Girls Club of North Alabama received a generous donation this week, as Huntsville area businessman and community supporter Frank J. Williams donated $1 million to the the club’s fundraising project.
The funds will go toward construction on a new club off of Pulaski Pike.
Boys + Girls Club fundraiser
Last year, Whitesburg Baptist Church donated its now unused building off of Pulaski Pike to the club for its new headquarters, and since then, the Boys & Girls Club of North Alabama has been raising money to make the move to the new facility.
The Boys & Girls Club said it had already raised $6 million of the $7.8 million dollar fundraising goal, so the recent donation by Williams was much-needed.
“He [Frank J. Williams] came through for us, so we’re very excited to have that final gift to take us over to reach our financial goal.”
