East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club Grows
When the East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club turned to its community to help it grow, support was on the way. By creating Building East Scarborough Together (BEST), a fundraising campaign to fund the club's 8,000 sq. foot expansion, the club was able to add a dance studio, an art and media studio, a larger gym and other program rooms. This expansion added an extra 200 spaces per day in the club's programs, which means a wider outreach to Toronto's priority neighbourhoods. Read more about the East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club.
