We are so excited about Blaney's "Be Great Academy". The BGA was started in Kershaw County in September 2010. We are looking forward to this program as it aids our youth in being successful. We look forward to our continued involvement with BGA as our youth grow and continue their education at Stover and move into their BGA program.

We are excited about building our program here at Blaney and growing our relationships within the school. BGA is also working on obtaining some business partners for Blaney's program.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands is proud to announce being the recipients of a grant from Bi-Lo. Through this funding our students will receive materials and be involved in activities to help enrich our program across our CORE activities.

We encourage you to come and visit our program and meet our staff. Come to our Club and see how the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands can help your child to BE GREAT!!!!
