Boys & Girls Club members excitedly point to both the goal and the growth on the Club's "Sponsor A Child" fund thermometer. With $3,000 on the board, they are inching up to their $35,000 investment goal, according to Club CPO William Walker. It cost the Club $225.41 per member to operate in 2008. Individuals are being asked to invest in the sponsorship of at least one child at $225. An investment made in the Boys & Girls Club of Rush County is an investment for the future of Rush County.
