MOVE ‘N’ GROOVE4BGC (Previously known as BIKE4BGC and MOVE4BGC) brings together family, friends, youth, and workplaces for an impactful campaign. Pledges raised support the ongoing mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County to provide programs that inspire and cultivate our youth to realize their full potential. This year, the MOVE ‘N’ GROOVE4BGC fundraising goal is to raise $700,000 to support our pre-school, Clubs, AVID/TOPS, and Skilled Trades and Entrepreneurship Training.
MOVE ‘N’ GROOVE4BGC is the first event in a fun-filled day to celebrate the GRAND OPENING of the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center! All bike routes will include a stop at the center, and we’ll have shuttles so that all participants will have the opportunity to tour the BGCDC McKenzie Regional Workforce Center! The facility is the LARGEST skilled trades & entrepreneurship center for youth in Southern Wisconsin.
FUNDRAISING GOAL: $700,000
Keep the celebration going all day long and attend the white party at the mckenzie regional workforce center!
After you MOVE and GROOVE, join us at the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center for our annual BGCDC White Party! We’ll have AMAZING music, dancing, food, and a photo booth to celebrate the grand opening of the center.
The White Party is ticketed separately from MOVE ‘N’ GROOVE4BGC
