The Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester continues to benefit from strong community partnerships that help create meaningful opportunities for local youth. On February 10, Executive Director Dwayne Mahoney attended the grand opening celebration of the new Planet Fitness location at Chili Square, joined by eight Boys & Girls Club members who were invited to be part of the special event.

During the celebration, Planet Fitness and IGNITE Fitness Holdings presented the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester with a $1,000 donation, reinforcing their ongoing commitment to supporting youth development and promoting healthy lifestyles in the Rochester community.

While speaking at the event, Mahoney thanked Planet Fitness for its continued partnership and dedication to investing in the success and well-being of Club youth. The donation will help support programs that encourage healthy habits, leadership development, and positive outcomes for the young people served by the Club.

Experiences like this allow Club members to see firsthand how community partners come together to make a difference. By engaging youth in community events and celebrating organizations that give back, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester continues to inspire members to envision bright futures and strong community connections.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester is grateful to Planet Fitness and IGNITE Fitness Holdings for their generosity and for standing alongside the Club in helping young people reach their full potential.
