1 Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui 2013 Annual Report

A MeSSAGe FRoM ouR CHIeFSInvestor, partner, donor, supporter, volunteer, champion of youth, advocate. Regardless of how you describe your relationship with Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui, You BELONG to our ‘OHANA!

Thank you for your incredible support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui (BGCM). It is only through the ongoing commitment and generosity from caring donors like you, who understand the life-changing work we do, that our success is possible.

As an ‘ohana, we have much to be proud of in 2013. While many organizations have spent the last year doing the honorable work of trying to ensure that we leave a better world for our children, we have worked tirelessly to leave better children for our world. With our focus on academics, college preparation, developing good character and healthy lifestyles, we are encouraging young people to realize their full potential while having fun and learning at the same time. Here are a few highlights from our 2013 accomplishments:

• 100% of our core members progressed to the next grade level.

• 100% of our high school seniors graduated on time and with a post-secondary plan.

• We served over 21,000 nutritious meals, ensuring that no child left our Clubs hungry.

• We completed a strategic planning workshop, resulting in 3-year action plans for Resource Development, Facilities, Technology, Staff Development, Network Expansion and Board Development. Lead by our Board of Directors, the process engaged our organization and community at all levels.

Your support is needed more than ever. Today’s kids face enormous challenges: 1 in 4 won’t graduate from high school; 1 in 5 lives in poverty; and 1 in 3 is overweight or obese. Schools can’t fi x these problems alone. Families need all the help and support they can get. Boys & Girls Clubs need your support to help combat these alarming statistics in order to provide gateways to great futures for kids.

Every kid on Maui needs and deserves a safe place to learn and grow. The work that we do is essential to our community. We were reminded of our impact at a County budget hearing last year by a single mother who was waiting to take her daughter home. She had not planned to testify, but after hearing her daughter thank the County for their support, she walked to the microphone in tears and explained that the Club was all of those things that her daughter had mentioned: fun, safe, a place she belonged, but so much more. She shared that she was working two jobs and barely getting by. Thanks to the Club, she could be at work with the peace of mind that her child was not just surviving, but thriving.

With your support we can do even more! There are thousands of children in our community who are underperforming in school, homeless or living in shelters, need mentors and tutoring, and who need a safe and positive place where they can just be kids.

Maui’s families and kids are counting on us. It is vital that we continue to build partnerships and grow our ‘ohana so that we can expand our reach to serve all of Maui. To have a great community, we must develop great citizens. This is our kuleana, and it is what the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui do best.

We are thankful for your support, and because of you, GReAt FutuReS StARt HeRe!

MAKInG An IMpACt

In every community, boys and girls are left to fi nd their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and infl uence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. It is the place where great futures are started each and every day.

Clubs have a lasting, positive impact on members’ lives.


As part of our healthy lifestyles priority outcome, 80 youth participated in the 1st Annual Shane Victorino Baseball Clinic in November 2012. “This was the best day ever!” reported one of our kids.


MAKInG An IMpACtFor young people to achieve great futures they must do well in school, serve their community, and take responsibility for their well-being. To achieve these results, BGCM members participate in programs in three key outcome areas: Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. Here is a sampling of the programs and generous partners that made our success possible in 2012-2013.

2nD AnnuAl WInDeRMeRe FounDAtIon SHARInG, SHoppInG & SYMpHonY In December, 2012, Windermere Valley Isle Realty, in conjunction with the Windermere Foundation, hosted a fundraising event at The Shops at Wailea. The event included a silent auction, fabulous food and fantastic live entertainment, including performances by Willie K and the Maui Pops. The proceeds were earmarked to help build a Clubhouse in Paukukalo to replace the limited space they now share at the Community Center. Located on Hawaiian Homelands land, with an average daily attendance of over 125 youth, building a permanent clubhouse at Paukukalo is one of BGCM’s top priorities.

McBARnet ‘oHAnA SuppoRtS eDuCAtIon The ongoing generosity of Maui Oil, Lanai Oil and the McBarnet family support BGCM’s College Bound program, allowing us to hire a full-time Education Director in 2012, resulting in 100% of our members progressing to the next grade level and 100% of high school seniors graduating on time and with post-secondary plans.

MACY’S “tHAnKS FoR SHARInG” Once again, Macy’s provided generous support for our mission and our Clubs by raising funds through its “Thanks for Sharing” annual campaign. In addition, they helped to dress our Youth of the Year candidates by offering discounted rates on their clothing. Youth of the Year is our premiere youth character recognition program.

JIM FAlK HolIDAY BIKe GIVeAWAYIn December 2012, Jim Falk Motors of Maui gifted bikes to 250 of our kids at an event held at the dealership’s showroom. The bikes were a wonderful and welcome surprise for the kids, who thought they were on a community service fi eld trip. Jim’s heartfelt and generous gift was the fi rst new bike many of these kids had ever received.

MAuI FooD BAnK – HeAltHY BeGInnInGS A key community partner, the Maui Food Bank provides food to all of our Clubs. This partnership ensures that no child ever leaves the Boys & Girls Clubs without having fi rst had the opportunity to enjoy a hot, nutritious meal and healthy snacks.

FIRSt InVeStoRS – DelIVeRInG tHe DIFFeRenCeAs part of an incentive travel program on Maui in April 2013, First Investors employees spent a day revitalizing the Central Clubhouse. Over 400 volunteers completed a Club beautifi cation project, which included painting, planting a garden and fl ower boxes, and installing outdoor fi tness equipment. Many of our youth members joined the First Investors teams, experiencing fi rsthand the joys and benefi ts of community service and volunteerism.

CountY oF MAuI, An eSSentIAl pARtneR The County of Maui is the cornerstone of our ‘ohana. BGCM exists because of our strong partnership with the Parks Department. We enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the County. We provide essential services to Maui’s youth; four of our six Clubhouses are hosted on County facilities. 45% of our operational budget comes from County support.

As part of BGCM’s Project Learn program for youth, the Jr. Naturalist Program was developed in a new partnership with the Maui Ocean Center’s Director of Education, Erin Iberg, and the Lahaina Club Unit Director Danae Marin. Over 60 youth took part in a month-long project that focused on education, career opportunities, leadership and peer mentoring. It began with the youth spending a day with full access to the aquarium, and interacting with Maui Ocean Center’s team of Marine Life Naturalists. Club kids explored every inch of the Ocean Center as they proudly carried their “research binders and tools”, working in small groups to collect information on topics of interest.

In the following weeks, the kids spent many hours at the Club compiling their data and making creative displays. At the end of the month, group members returned to the Ocean Center as “Jr. Naturalists”. older members partnered with younger youth to interact and educate aquarium visitors with their newfound knowledge. The feedback from visitors and the Center’s staff was very positive and the kids received many compliments throughout the day! The goal of providing a low-cost, large-scale, fun, interactive, memorable, and educational experience was accomplished. Many thanks to Erin and the entire Maui Ocean Center staff for their wonderful partnership!

AARen SoRIAno2013 Gene Freedman Maui Youth of the Year2013 Hawaii Youth of the Year

Congratulations to Makawao Club Member, Aaren Soriano, who was named Maui Youth of the Year, before moving on to also win the Hawaii Youth of the Year title. Aaren advanced to the Regional competition, where he proudly represented his home state vying with Boys & Girls Club members from across the Pacifi c Region.

Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. As BGCA’s premier youth recognition program, Youth of the Year recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as overcoming personal challenges and obstacles. The recognition program encourages Club members to reach their full potential by achieving academic success, leading healthy lifestyles and contributing to their communities.

Aaren, a student at Kamehameha Schools Maui, is an “Aha Ho’ohanohano” Member (National Honors Society of Hawaii) and holds a 4.0 grade point average (GPA). Aaren is active in Passport to Manhood (Boys Club), Teen

Keystone Club (a Club based Community Service Program), Weightlifting Club, and is an avid chess player. In the year preceded the award, he logged over 250 hours of volunteer service as a tutor in math and science during Power Hour (homework assistance) at the Club and at his school, as well as working many hours at fundraising events. Following his Kamehameha High School graduation in 2014, Aeron plans to apply to Ivy League schools and aspires to become a lawyer.

Soriano and three of his peers–Tia Bright, Haiku Club; Mason Aquino, Central Club and Kalani Minihan, Lahaina Club–had the honor of representing their individual clubs and presented their speech at a public event held at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on January 22nd. After their speech presentation they were interviewed by Judges Rick Freedman, Chad Goodfellow, Carmen Hulu Lindsey, Keith Regan, and Reverend Terry Watanabe.

The winner of the Gene Freedman Youth of the Year Award was announced that Friday at an intimate dinner graciously hosted by Chef Bev and Joe Gannon at their lovely Makawao estate. The evening couldn’t have been nicer and the food was amazing!

Each candidate was awarded a $1,000 scholarship and the winner a $2,500 scholarship by the Freedman family in honor of their father, the late Gene Freedman (see inside back cover).

Congratulations to Aaren and all of these extraordinary young leaders. They are shining examples and living proof that great futures start at Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui.

“When you walk through the Club doors, you can feel that everyone has respect, love and genuine care for each other.” – Excerpt from Aaren’s Youth of the Year speech


Gene FReeDMAn – A SpeCIAl FRIenD AnD GReAt pHIlAntHRopISt

BGCM CVO Colin Hanlon and Rick Freedman present Aeron with Youth of the Year award.

The late Gene Freedman was an accomplished business leader, a great philanthropist, and a special friend of the Boys & Girls Club movement. Gene was the founding Chairman and former President and CEO of ENESCO Group, Inc., a global leader in branded gifts and collectibles markets, including the Precious Moments line of figurines.

Gene served on numerous boards of prominent charitable organizations, including the Boys & Girls Clubs National Board of Governors. Gene’s business acumen and his dedication to giving back to the community resulted in his being honored with a multitude of prestigious awards, including the United States Congressional Ellis Island Medal of Honor and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s highest honor, The Herbert Hoover Humanitarian Award.

Gene loved Maui and our local Boys & Girls Clubs. He cherished the beauty of Maui and the time he spent working with organizations here. Gene was especially fond of the Boys & Girls Clubs Youth of the Year competition and served on the National Elections Committee to determine the National Youth of the Year. So it is fi tting that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui Youth of the Year competition bears his name. The perseverance demonstrated by Youth of the Year candidates embodied Gene’s motto that “the best is yet to come.”

We honor Gene and thank the entire Freedman family for their continued visionary and selfl ess support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui and our kids.

Gene with wife Ruth

“the best is yet to come.”
