A.G. Gaston Club Celebrates 60 Years, Impacting Thousands
Description
The A.G. Gaston Boys and Girls Club celebrates its sixtieth anniversary, a legacy started by Dr. Arthur Gaston, Birminghams first Black millionaire. The club, founded during the Civil Rights era, has served 20,000 kids with academic help, sports, and safe spaces. The clubs headquarters, a 25,000 square foot facility, was established in 1967 and has since expanded to five other campuses. The club is known for its impact on alumni, who credit coaches as second parents and mentors. The club is pushing forward with innovative programs, including a tech center for STEM, a hydroponic farm, and workforce training. The anniversary dinner, featuring Jalen Hurts, is a call to invest in young lives for future success.
