Coughlins Host Event At Club Car to Benefit Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle

New Rochelle residents, Michael and Najat Coughlin believe that growing up in today’s world isn’t easy for any child. Within the community, some boys and girls are forced to find recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of kids are left at home with no adult care or supervision. And far too many lack positive role models to guide them towards making healthy lifestyle choices, informed career decisions and living successful lives.

The Coughlins know that since opening its doors in 1929, the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle has been the place where success stories begin. While at the Club, members find friends, enjoy a safe haven from the streets and have the opportunity to participate in activities that both educate and uplift them. Recognizing the important work performed by the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle, as well as the organization’s critical need for funding, Michael and Najat Coughlin are hosting a “Moroccan Inspired” Celebration on Thursday, April 3rd to benefit the Club’s “It Just Takes One” Annual Campaign.

This special soiree will take place at Club Car in Mamaroneck, New York and feature dinner, drinks and fun for all involved. Admission is free but donations are encouraged to support the 2,000 children served each year by the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle.

“Najat and I are honored to lend our energy and effort in support of the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle,” says Michael Coughlin. “Our sincere hope is that people will follow our example and realize anyone can make a difference in the life of a child.” A donation to the “It Just Takes One” campaign is truly an investment that will help kids build bright futures. We’re hoping that lots of generous people come out Thursday night to both give a gift and make a difference!” Anyone interested in attending Thursday’s “Moroccan Inspired” Celebration should call Rudy J. Breedy at (914) 235-3736 or email rbreedy@bgcnr.org for more information.

“It Just Takes One” is a key fundraising campaign that supports the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle’s youth programming, general operations and facility upgrades. The Coughlins join fellow Co-Chair, Barbara Ellsworth-Robinson in raising funds from individuals, families and companies to support the organization’s mission and message.

The Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle offers high quality programming for children ages 6-18 at five locations throughout the city. The programs are designed to enhance self-esteem, life skills, career development and good behavior. In addition to after school and vacation programs, there is also a summer camp. The Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle stresses character and leadership, education and career development, the arts, health and life skills and sports and fitness.
