Boys Hope Girls Hope Gives Back

The scholars of Boys Hope Girls Hope are giving back -- in a very big way. On March 14, the students organized and ran a very successful car wash to help raise funds for relief in Haiti. Jemal, currently a sixth grader at St. Cecelia’s in Tustin, learned about the devastating earth quake from his teacher at school. He was especially concerned that the children of Haiti would not have any food, water or shelter. He wanted to raise funds to help out and came up with the idea of a car wash. He would donate all proceeds to the American Red Cross.

The car wash was held in the 7-11 parking lot at 17th & Orange in Costa Mesa. Both the boys’ and girls’ homes participated in the event. Not only did the scholars wash cars to raise money, but they also conducted a successful bake sale; over $200 was raised! One generous couple not only made a sizeable donation but went above and beyond by purchasing extra car wash supplies for the scholars.

Boys Hope Girls Hope motto is to help academically capable and motivated children-in-need to meet their full potential and become men and women for others by providing value centered, family-like homes, opportunities and education through college.

Giving back, helping others, making a contribution to the community…..to the world.

That certainly describes all of our scholars at Boys Hope Girls Hope. To learn more about Boys Hope Girls Hope, visit www.bhghsocal.org or call 949-515-8833
