Sertoma Club of Springfield helps BGCCIL fill backpacks for Return to School

The Sertoma Club of Springfield assisted the Boys of Girls Clubs of Central Illinois (BGCCIL) on August 12th in filling backpacks for its students to return to school with necessary supplies. Sertoma provided funds to purchase some school supplies, and its members volunteered to help BGCCIL fill 100 backpacks. The filled backpacks were subsequently provided to BGCCIL students who will attend Springfield Public School District 186 schools, as well as certain parochial schools in the area. Students who report to school with supplies are able to begin the school year successfully.

Sertoma's mission is to help people in the area who are hard of hearing and to meet general community needs. The Sertoma Club of Springfield has a long-standing relationship with the BGCCIL. ###
