AGC is Looking for Build Up! Kit Sponsors

AGC of America would like to thank the latest chapters and members who have stepped forward to sponsor Build Up! kits for Boys & Girls Clubs around the nation. Faith Technologies sent two kits to Boys & Girls Clubs in Appleton and Dunkirk, Wisconsin; Slate Hill Constructors sent two kits to Syracuse, New York; AGC of Austin sent 10 kits to clubs in Arlington, Austin, and Gatesville, Texas; AGC of Maryland sponsored two kits for the club in Southern Maryland; Enterprise Fleet Management sent a kit to Calhoun, Georgia; and the Louisiana AGC, Inc. and the Louisiana Contractors Educational Trust Fund sent four kits to Alexandria, Louisiana. NAWIC also a kit for a Wisconsin club. We have fulfilled more than 40 requests for kits. AGC of America is still seeking sponsors for 235 more Build Up! kits, and the requests keep coming! Each kit costs $199 plus shipping and would be shipped directly to the requesting club. Additionally, AGC will send to the club a letter in advance of each kit, telling the club the name of the sponsoring AGC member or chapter. We are looking for sponsors for kits to be shipped communities in Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington state, and Wisconsin. Boys & Girls Clubs serve nearly 5 million youths from more than 4,000, primarily inner-city, clubhouses. The 102-year-old charity offers youths of all ages a safe, professionally staffed haven that is open after school and on weekends. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
