A Message from Our Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Our 2010-2011 fiscal year was a positive and successful time for Boys & Girls Aid. Throughout the last three years, the slow economy provided us with challenges. But we used the sometimes difficult circumstances as an opportunity to review our programs and processes. During this time, we always held true to our core purpose of impacting the lives of children in need. As we being our 127th year, we can say, with enthusiasm, that our services for children and young adults are growing and continually improving at Boys & Girls Aid.

Our 127th anniversary also gives us pause to reflect on the people who have helped us become the agency we are today. With the support of generous community members, Boys & Girls Aid has impacted the lives of thousands of children in need since 1885.

The need of these children is absolutely basic – they need and deserve a family to love them and a home to call their own. We are grateful for the investment you and others have made that allow us to be recognized as a leader in providing the highest quality service and support to Oregon’s children. We thank you for selecting Boys & Girls Aid as the right agency to provide the solution. Your continued investment in the lives of young people will lead to the future success of our community.

With gratitude,

Michael H. Balter

Boys & Girls Aid Executive Director
