For many of us, the Thanksgiving weekend marks the beginning of holiday shopping season. Indeed, the bargains begin before the last piece of pie is served! This year, we hope that you will keep the Club and our kids in mind as the holiday spirit takes hold. Here are a few ways to give back while getting a great deal.
For something utterly unique, consider a hand-crafted gift made by one of our Club kids. During this season of giving and celebration, our tweens are reminding us how blessed we are here in Locust Valley through their Torch Club Holiday Art Sale.
Through Torch Club, our leadership and community outreach program for children in grades 6-8, our kids have developed a strong sense of appreciation for and a desire to give thanks for their families and their Club. Indeed, at a young age, they are learning to plan and participate in worthwhile community service projects. This holiday season they are lending their artistic talents and organizing an Art Sale to raise funds for children in need.
If you’re an Amazon shopper, please consider signing up for the Amazon Smile program, which donates .5% of your purchases to the charity of your choice at no cost to you.

Likewise, if you find yourself at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, we are delighted to share that Neiman Marcus is once again supporting the Club with a second national holiday fundraiser that will run through December 31, 2020. Specifically, Neiman Marcus customers can donate to Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club while checking out in the store and online.
