June 1, 2018 (Freeport, TX) – The Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County (BGCBC) is pleased to announce that Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott will serve as the featured speaker at a benefit brunch.

The event will begin at 11:00 a.m. and conclude at 1:00 p.m. Tickets are $50.00 per person and can be purchased on line at http://www.bgcbrazoria.org or through the regular mail by check. Those interested can make checks out to the Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County and send them to Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County at 202 West 1st Street, Freeport, Texas 77541. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

As a career educator and one who has spent her life devoted to helping others, her appearance in support of the BGCBC is fitting.

Cecilia believes strongly in giving back to Texas’ communities. Her signature initiative as First Lady is Texanthropy, through which she promotes volunteerism and service to others. She has also partnered with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services on Network of Nurture to raise awareness about the ways Texans can support the children and families in the state’s child welfare system.

“We are extremely happy and honored to have Cecilia Abbott visit the Brazosport area and promote BGCBC and the many ways we support the children in our community,” said Amber Newman, executive director of the BGCBC. “Summer is when we have a lot of interest in our camps which are 8 weeks of activities devoted to cooking, the arts and STEM.” More information about BGCBC summer camp can be found here at: http://www.bgcbc.com/Default.aspx?tabid=924618.
