The mission of the Germantown Boys & Girls Club is to help boys and girls of all backgrounds, with an emphasis on at-risk youth, build confidence, develop character and acquire the skills needed to become productive, civic-minded, responsible adults. Today children come from families in which both parents work, in fact this situation seems to be the 'traditional' family these days. Elementary students today lack the community support required to deal with academics, extracurricular activities and social challenges. For this reason, the Germantown Boys & Girls Club provides youth with a positive and safe place to go; a way to grow in a safe and caring environment.

From the church's early beginnings in 1989, Seneca Creek Community Church (Seneca Creek) has always valued community involvement in Germantown. One of Seneca Creek's core values is to assist and influence the educational, political, and business institutions of its community while helping to care for the family. Seneca Creek admires the efforts of the Germantown Boys & Girls Club and is happy that the race committee has chosen this worthy local charity as its 2007 beneficiary.

 

CSAAC, Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children, has been serving children and adults with autism in Montgomery County since 1979.

CSAAC’s mission is to enable individuals with autism to achieve their highest potential and contribute as confident individuals to their community.
