One hundred children are impacted if the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Eufaula closes its doors. Learn how you can help.
Michelle Mann EUFAULA — One hundred children will be left with nothing to do if the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Eufaula closes its doors and Scharon Peterson is striving to ensure that does not happen.
There are four clubs under the Lake Eufaula umbrella. Another Eufaula club at 12 Engram St. and the Boys and Girls Clubs in Daleville and Abbeville, also under the umbrella of the Eufaula club, will not be affected, Peterson said. “Support from our local community is great and our Annual Steak and Burger Fundraiser regularly generates 20% of our income,” she said. “With the addition of more children, expenses have escalated and the need for more funds becomes a never-ending struggle.
The Sanford Avenue club has been open since 2022 after a group of concerned citizens two years earlier formed a seven-member steering committee that established a board of directors and started a fundraising campaign.
