Houston-based firm McConnell Jones has announced a partnership with the Boys Girls Club of America to support young people in local communities.
From July 22 through August 2, 2019, MJ staff members will participate in the firm’s first annual School Supply Drive, benefiting local BGCA Clubs across communities in Houston, Dallas, Austin and Washington, D.C. MJ is also planning a future firm-wide day of giving, holiday toy drives, mentoring programs and job shadowing programs.
“We believe that all kids deserve a chance to succeed, which is why we’re thrilled to be aligned with Boys Girls Clubs and kick off the partnership with a ‘back to school’ campaign that will benefit local clubs,” stated Odysseus Lanier, a partner at McConnell Jones. “Boys Girls Clubs of America has enabled young people who are in need to achieve great futures as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We are proud to be a premier partner with this organization.”
“Our collaboration with McConnell Jones will make a tremendous impact on members,” said Kevin Hattery, president and CEO of Boys and Girls Club of Greater Houston, in a statement. “We look forward to the invaluable mentorship and encouragement their team will provide our youth.”
