The Boys & Girls Club of the Northland charges a $20 annual membership fee.
“We want everyone one of our kids to be able to come to our club and experience everything that we do that includes all meals all programs all trips everything we do,” said Lynn Reins, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of the Northland.
Funds raised at the tournament will support mental health programs for local students. The organization has seen a 42% jump in summer program attendance, which it credits to the addition of all-day care at the Dave Goldberg Family Branch, located inside Duluth’s Heritage Center.
This year’s theme is career and job readiness.
All proceeds will benefit more than 8,000 kids and teens the Boys & Girls Club serves across the Northland.
