Monrovia Boys & Girls Club Gets Gift from JC Penney

Getting help on homework at Boys & Girls Club

Boys & Girls Club of the Foothills, based in Monrovia, got $12,500 ( http://goo.gl/GJ9tKm ) as one of the beneficiaries of a JC Penney campaign that asked customers to "round up" their purchases and donate the rest to Boys & Girls Clubs.

John Wilson, Executive Director of Boys & Girls Club of the Foothills, said, "With budget cuts in education, there's never been a more important time to support afterschool programs as a valuable community resource that helps to bridge the education gap. As customers shop for the Back-to-School season, we hope they will keep our mission in mind so that the social and academic learning opportunities we provide after school will continue to be available to Monrovia, Duarte, and Arcadia students."
