The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua has qualified for a $500,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation. The Kresge Foundation challenged the Boys & Girls Club to raise $1.1 million dollars by September 30, 2009 and they did! Hundreds of donors came forward to help with the fundraising, but it was a $25,000 grant from the McLean Contributionship, which is affiliated with our local newspaper, the Nashua Telegraph that put them past their goal. They are still rejoicing!
