Jamie Donnelly The Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson received more than $3 million from philanthropist Mackenzie Scott, which will fund a series of projects for the organization over the next several years.
“At BGCT we have always believed in dreaming big for Tucson’s youth. Mackenzie Scott clearly shares the same vision,” Denise Watters, the CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson, said in the release. “We could not be more grateful for her generosity and belief in us. In the same vein, this couldn’t happen without the support of a fabulous executive team and a visionary board that is committed to fearlessly pioneering the most impacting ideas.
The second project will be focused on renovating the Steve Daru Clubhouse, at 1375 N. El Rio Drive. The clubhouse, which is one of the oldest locations, will be modernized both inside and out, the release said. The projects will be spearheaded by Watters and a panel of expert advisors that includes incoming board president, Mitchell Sigsworth.
