Great Futures Start Here

National spokespersons and Club alumni Denzel Washington and Jennifer Lopez understand how Boys & Girls Clubs create great futures for children and teens every day. They are joined by 19 prominent Club alumni to send a message to America.

A new public service announcement, directed by Academy Award winner Ron Howard with the support of producer Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment, dramatically illustrates the impact of the Boys & Girls Club Experience in transforming the lives of young people.

Debuting on Wednesday, Sept. 21, the video features 21 notable Boys & Girls Club alumni including national co-spokespersons Denzel Washington and Jennifer Lopez, along with Ashanti, General Wesley Clark, Misty Copeland, John Paul DeJoria, Cuba Gooding Jr., Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mario Lopez, Ne-Yo, Edward James Olmos, Lucille O’Neal, Shaquille O’Neal, Smokey Robinson, CC Sabathia, Martin Sheen, Courtney B. Vance, Kerry Washington and Shaun White. BGCA’s 2010 National Youth of the Year Mona Dixon rounded out the cast.

The PSA, titled “Great Futures Start Here,” was created to draw awareness about the critical issues — high school dropout rate, childhood obesity, youth violence — that puts millions of America’s kids, and the nation’s future, at risk.

Kids in every community deserve a chance at a great future. Boys & Girls Clubs provide high-impact, affordable programs, and caring adult mentorship to give kids an opportunity to learn and grow. Every day, Clubs around the world emphasize academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.

View the Great Futures Start Here PSA above and share it with your friends!

They decorated the trailer and truck donated by Rogers Trucking and driven by Al DeWitt Jr. and all met on Monday to ride and wave to all their friends and bystanders. Our Road Runners group raced at the beginning and the Drum Corp preceded the float with their usual precision and enthusiasm.
