 More than three years after hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated our State, children have still not been able to return home to our sister city of New Orleans. Boys & Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge remains a stable support for these children giving them The Positive Place for Kids. Our community is now in the process of recovering from hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which had quite an environmental and economic impact on our community. The health and well being of our community begins with our kids, thank you for considering your support of Boys & Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge
