From the Boys & Girls Club of Troy...

It will be fun to watch members of the Troy Police Department play B&GCT Teens in what’s sure to be a rapid-fire Basketball Game at 7:30 pm, Tuesday, October 9th at the Boys & Girl Club of Troy.

According to Troy Police Officer Andy Breidenich, “This Charity Basketball Game is a fun way for the Troy Police to show support for the role the Boys & Girls Club plays in providing a safe, positive place for kids.  After school hours can be a vulnerable time for children left unsupervised, and Troy is fortunate to have a Club filled with so much to do and people who care.”

B&GCT Executive Director Steve Toth agrees, “This is a great time for us.  We just celebrated our 30th year of successful Youth Development.  We’ve been in this state-of-the-art facility for one year.  And, we can’t wait for Game Night in our Pulte Gym.  It’s going to be a blast!”

B&GCT Special Events Director Mary Kerwin remarks, “Our Teens played ball together this summer, and when the Troy Officers toured the Club, they had the idea of a Charity Game.  The Cops have held practices and are ready to take on the Teens.   We’re pleased that Wells Fargo Bank sponsored team jerseys and will pay the game officials.”

There is a nominal charge of $1 for kids, $2 for adults, and $5 maximum per family.  Doors open at 7 pm and refreshments are provided.  The Boys & Girls Club is located at 3670 John R in Troy.  For more information, call 248.689.1687 or visit www.bgctroy.org .
