It Just Takes One Campaign

It just takes one person to help our dreams come true! Concentrating on children who need us most, we provide each child who comes to our Club with the tools to make positive choices. But we cannot do it alone. We need the support of caring people and community leaders to help us, help our kids. An investment in the It Just Takes One Campaign enables our dedicated staff to forge strong relationships with young people and influence their ability to succeed in life.

An annual contribution to this campaign helps build a brighter tomorrow for more children. Gifts of $10,000 or more by individuals are recognized in the Jeremiah S. Milbank Society.

Kiss A Pig Contest – February 22-May 15, 2008

Olivet Boys & Girls Club began a special community event in 1994 called the Kiss-A-Pig contest as a creative way to raise awareness about the Boys & Girls Club’s mission in Reading & Berks County. The event has become one of the most fun and talked about events in our community.  To date, the event has raised more than   

$1 million for the kids of our community who need us the most.

The contest, along with its sponsor and candidates, enjoy a great deal of local publicity, including newspaper, radio and television coverage throughout a 12 week period.
