Individuals and organizations came together Oct. 24 for a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the future Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida facility that is coming to Winter Garden. Representatives from BGCCF, the city of Winter Garden, donors and more gathered at the site on Ninth Street to turn the dirt to signify the start of construction and to recognize the many donors who are making this new club branch possible.
The city donated the land for the clubhouse, to be named the June Family Branch, after Randy and Jamie June for all they have done to raise funds and awareness for the project.
The new club will offer 20,000 square feet of programming space and serve up to 220 children daily, and it is expected to be completed next fall.
