Return to Learn
Return to Learn is Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana’s largest annual fundraising campaign, bringing our Clubs and communities together to help local youth start the school year strong.
Throughout the campaign, each of our Clubs works toward a fundraising goal of $5,000 or more, with every dollar raised directly supporting the programs, resources, and opportunities our members rely on throughout the school year.
A Friendly Club Competition
Our Clubs will once again compete in two conferences for some serious bragging rights!
Conference 1 Clubs compete for the BELT:
Hammond, Valparaiso, Duneland, and Portage
Conference 2 Clubs compete for the CROWN:
Cedar Lake, South Haven, East Chicago, John Will Anderson Gary, and Lake Station
And there’s a twist! If a Conference 2 Club raises more than every Club in Conference 1, they can steal the BELT, with the top Conference 1 Club taking home the CROWN.
Your Gift Goes Twice as Far
Thanks to the generous support of our Club Hero Corporate Partner, The University of Chicago Medicine, donations made during Return to Learn are matched, helping create even greater impact for Club kids across Northwest Indiana.
Help Our Clubs Reach Their Goals
Choose a Club to support, make a donation, and help them climb the leaderboard! Whether you give $10, $50, $100, or more, every gift helps provide safe spaces, caring mentors, educational opportunities, and life-changing experiences for local youth.
Together, we can help every Club kid return to school ready to learn, grow, and succeed.
