Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus County

What Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus County does

The Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization founded in 1946 and headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. It serves children and teens ages 5–18 across Cabarrus County through four core programs: the Afterschool Program (grades K-5), the Teen Program (grades 6-12), the Summer Program, and the federally funded 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC). Programs are delivered in person at a 77,000-square-foot facility equipped with three gymnasiums, a Technology Center, an E-Sports Room, an Arts & Crafts Room, a Life Skills Room, and a Learning Center, with transportation provided from 21 local schools (11 elementary, 6 middle, 4 high). Specialty enrichment offerings include STEM, Power Hour Homework Club, Project Learn, SMART Moves, Healthy Habits, Intramurals, and teen leadership tracks such as Keystone Club, Torch Club, and Street SMART.

The Club does not operate a technology platform; its "product" is structured in-person youth programming combined with daily meals (91,650 meals served annually) and academic support. Operating scale is substantial for a single-site nonprofit, with 2,129 program participants served annually and 242 volunteers supporting operations. Headcount is in the 11–50 range per firmographic data, with one event source citing approximately 70 staff members involved in Pancake Day operations.

The revenue model is diversified across program fees (e.g., $130/quarter for middle school afterschool, $650 full rate for summer with a $450 reduced rate, high school programming offered free), individual donations (one-time, monthly giving club, and tiered giving societies including the Jeremiah Milbank Society at $10,000+, Lifetime Giving Society at $250,000+, and Heritage Club planned giving), corporate sponsorships, and signature fundraising events. Annual funds raised are reported at $3,643,760. Signature revenue events include the 69th Annual Pancake Day (presented by SHOE SHOW, INC., with over $112,000 in sponsorship support and 5,322 attendees in 2026), the Propst Brothers Golf Classic (presented by Craven & Company Realtors), and the Festival of Trees at Hotel Concord. The organization also benefits from a strategic partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina for meal provision under the Kids' Cafe Program.
