TRUCKEE MEADOWS BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB NEWS RELEASE – Wednesday, October 9, the Dolan Automotive Group employees stuffed 400 backpacks with school supplies for Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows members.
The Dolan Automotive Group has been a big supporter of the Club and recognized that many students are ill-prepared for the school year from a supply perspective. They volunteered both time and money to help support the leading non-profit youth services agency in northern Nevada and better prepare 400 students for the school year.
For two hours, Dolan Automotive Group employees stuffed backpacks with school supplies including pencils, erasers, glue sticks, markers, spiral notebooks, three ring binders, hand sanitizer and Kleenex. 100 Club members in the after-school program at the Donald W. Reynolds Facility were invited to pick-up their backpacks from volunteers from Dolan Automotive Group. The remaining 300 backpacks will be distributed to Club members at other sites of the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows.
