“The needs of the children we serve have increased dramatically and so has our organization’s need for funding,” says Quay Watkins, Executive Director for the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle. “The Annual Online Auction enables us to raise maximum revenue with minimal expenses.”  “As a result we’re able to apply those critical dollars raised to high quality programs like Healthy Habits; Career Launch; Diplomas 2 Degrees; SMART Girls and Passport To Manhood.” “Funds generated also allow us to make necessary facility improvements and supports the Club’s general operating expenses.” My sincere hope is that everyone will visit us online at  www.32auctions.com/bgcnr2013auction to either place a bid or simply share the website address with anyone that might be interested!”
