WHAT IS THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION?
Since 1939, the Boys & Girls Club of El Dorado has impacted the lives of thousands of our area’s young people. Former Club members contribute to our community in many ways through many different outlets and occupations: educators, business leaders, doctors, attorneys, politicians, law enforcement officers, manufacturing workers, and Boys & Girls Club volunteers. Join our Alumni Facebook Group, Boys & Girls Club of El Dorado Alumni Association Facebook Page, to connect with other alumni.
The Alumni Association was created in 1992 with the Hall of Fame. In 2002, the Boys & Girls Club of El Dorado Alumni Association was incorporated to help support and promote the Club and its membership. Since then, more than $175,000 has been raised by the Alumni Association for the various projects listed below.
