The BayPort Foundation has donated $25,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula (BGCVP) in support of their ongoing Summer Enrichment Campaign. The campaign, which runs through August 25, aims to provide a summer full of opportunities to at least 300 local youth. Funds raised will go toward more enriching summer programs through field trips, career exploration, arts, STEM, sports, and more. Most importantly, the funds will ensure that no child misses out on the chance to attend a Club for the summer.
“BayPort has been a great partner to Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula for years. Through anything from backpack donations for the school year, to monetary support, to Jim [Mears] serving as a dedicated member on our Board- they never hesitate to do whatever it takes to provide opportunity to our kids. This gift of $25,000 toward our Summer Enrichment Campaign is another example of their tremendous generosity and belief in our mission and community. This gift will provide opportunities for at least 50 local children,” said BGCVP President & CEO Hal Smith.
As the philanthropic arm of BayPort Credit Union, the Foundation is an extension of the credit union’s charitable giving. BayPort Credit Union commits more than half a million dollars in annual corporate donations. In addition, it pays all of the Foundation’s overhead to ensure 100 percent of the Foundation’s donations support its mission. To learn more about the BayPort Foundation, visit bayportfoundation.org.
In addition to the BayPort Foundation donation, BayPort Credit Union supports the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula annually. BayPort has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs for over a decade, supporting their annual fundraising through corporate giving and staff volunteerism. More recently, in 2022, BayPort donated 500 backpacks to students enrolled in their after-school programs.
