Welcome
Dear Boys & Girls Clubs Friends,
Welcome to the 18th Annual Born to Be Wild Virtual Dinner & Auction. This year —
a year unlike anything we’ve seen — finds us taking our annual event online. The
Highway to Great Futures leads home this year with a particular focus on things
here in our local area.
If you’re familiar with this event, you know it’s more than a fun-filled cruise down the
highway. Funds raised at this annual event help support Club membership for over
3,000 Boys & Girls Club youth in Thurston County. Kids and teens attending our
seven Club locations are more than part of our community; they are our future. They
are our future leaders, neighbors, business owners, and visionaries. The Clubs play
an important part in giving all youth a safe space to realize their potential and know
how great they are. With the added challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the Clubs are more vital than ever. Your support of this year’s Born to be Wild
Auction creates opportunities for kids in our community to reach their full potential –
especially those who need the Club most.
Whether this year’s event finds you gathering with small groups of friends or simply
enjoying the event from the comfort of home, we’re grateful you’ve come along for
this ride. Win a trip! Buy a basket! Bid on treasures! Enjoy this year’s auction and
please give generously during our Fund-A-Kid portion of the show! Your support
through generous giving supports young people in our community.
Thank you for joining the festivities. On behalf of our auction committee, board
members, staff, and all the Club Kids, THANK YOU!

About Boys & Girls Clubs of Thurston County

the midst of a global pandemic)! Our Clubs provide meaningful
programs and fun activities to prepare kids and teens for real-
world success. Clubs provide a safe, quality out-of-school
experience, meeting and supporting youth where they are and

our Clubs remained open (and safe!). Clubs provided emergency care
to children of first responders, healthcare workers, essential community
personnel, and Club parents required to work.
Club staff stepped up and stepped in like never before to meet the needs
of the youth we serve. Thank you to our dedicated Club Staff for doing
#WhateverItTakes for youth in Thurston County.

Paddle Raise
This year’s Born to be Wild guest speaker is Cathleen Doctor, a long-time
Boys & Girls Club parent. Cathleen is a proud mom of two daughters whose
experiences at the Club not only changed their life as a family but our
community as well.
Cathleen will share her story as a single mom raising two daughters, Tasha
and Faith, and the peace that she experienced in finding a safe place for her
children – each being unique and gifted in their own right. She will speak to
her experience and offer valuable perspective on what it meant to be on the
receiving end of the support and understanding provided by the Clubs and
their staff. Through Club programs for the girls, as well as family nights and
Club volunteer opportunities for all three of them, Cathleen found Boys & Girls
Clubs to be a home away from home for her girls.
Cathleen is now extending her experience
to others. “Having a foundation of
community support with a team of people
that encourages positive self-development,
individuality, and compassionate
understanding is important to me,” said
Cathleen. “So, it’s not surprising I would
make the decision to work at the Club
supporting my family.”
Donors like you make Cathleen’s
experience possible. Support for Boys &
Girls Clubs changes the lives of youth and
families in our community.
Thank you for supporting Fund-a-Kid at the 2020 Born to be Wild Auction.
