Wow! What a great day!On behalf of our EXTRAVAGANZA committee, we want to offer our deepest thanks to everyone who helped make the inaugural event so successful.
Saturday, May 6, was a day when thousands of amazing people came together to support the Boys & Girls Club of Massena. Vendors, partners, entertainers, advertisers, volunteers, and attendees shared their time and their treasure to help us open the doors to GREAT FUTURES.
We really can’t say thank you enough. Every dollar made at the EXTRAVAGANZA stays right here, to provide the programs and place that is making a difference in the lives of our kids — already nearly 500 members strong!
We’ve started planning for next year and we so hope to see you again on the first Saturday in May!
Thank you for your continued support!
Tim Lashomb & Anne-Marie Lucid, EXTRAVAGANZA Co-Chairs

Massena’s own Jim “Ace” Deshaies recently showed how easy it is to support the Boys & Girls Club of Massena by purchasing raffle tickets from club board member Tim Lashomb. The raffle tickets are just $5 each for a chance at cash prizes totaling $2,500. Others can join Jim in supporting the Club by purchasing raffle tickets today at Frenchie’s Chevrolet or from any Boys & Girls Club board member.

With signs of construction taking place around them at the clubhouse at 30 Bayley Road, the former St. Joseph’s social hall, Boys and Girls club officials accepted the keys to the building after closing on its purchase.
Timmy J. Currier, president of the Boys and Girls Club of Massena Board of Directors, accepted the keys from the Rev. Mark Reilly, pastor for the Greater Massena Catholic Community, as a number of club members and officials looked on.
Just in time for the holidays, raffle tickets are now available to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Massena. At just $5, they make great stocking stuffers, Secret Santa gifts or that special addition to any gift.
Prizes to be awarded: $1000 First, $750 Second, $500 Third & $250 Fourth.
Frenchie Coupal sponsored the ticket printing, so all proceeds benefit the Club.

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving.
#GivingTuesday is all about the power of caring and the generosity of people to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges.
Please remember local charities that need your support on #GivingTuesday — like the Boys & Girls Club of Massena. Funds received stay right here to pay the costs of providing services to our 300+ Club kids. And, meaningful donations don’t have to be monetary — your time and talents are welcome too!
BGCM's "Embracing Possibilities: Ready, Set, Go!" programming is made possible through the generous support of the Alcoa Foundation.
You can also support the BGCM by contributing to our United Way endowment.
