Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend is excited to announce a major match for all new monthly donors and existing donors who upgrade their monthly gift in the first quarter of 2025: Hayden Homes has gifted $20,000 to provide a double match for the rest of the year!
The match means that for a new donor giving $10 per month, Hayden Homes will provide a double match of an additional $20 per month, bringing the total monthly donation to the Club to $30 per month, or $360 for the year.
Even more impactful will be existing donors who increase their current monthly donation, for instance from $75 to $100 per month. Hayden Homes will provide a double match to these donors for the entire donation amount. For instance bringing an upgraded gift of $1,200 per year to a total of $3,600 per year.
“We are honored to support the enriching experiences provided by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend to the youth of our region’s working families,” said Deb Flagan, Hayden Homes’ vice president of community engagement and giving. “Our mission is to Give As You Go
A check for the match was presented to the Club at a small celebration in December attended by members of Hayden Homes’ staff and Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend staff. The gift is the third contribution Hayden Homes has provided to the organization in recent years, bringing total recent giving to $50,000 in the past three years.
The dollars raised through the 2025 match will be used to support the enrichment programming provided by the Club, as well as trauma-informed staff training enabling the Club to provide exceptional services to the youth of our region.
