Sentry Auto Group Announces $5,000 Challenge Grant for Boys and Girls Clubs of Middlesex County

For the month of November, Sentry will donate $5 for each new fan on its Facebook page (www.facebook.com/sentrycars) and match 50% of all corporate and individual donations to the Boys and Girls Clubs, up to a maximum of $5,000. The funds raised will go toward providing over 700 hours of mentoring and life-enhancing programs that promote academic success, healthy lifestyles and good character and leadership development for our community’s youth.

“The Boys & Girls Club exists to address serious academic and social issues that face today’s youth and teens. The organization does this by providing safe Clubhouses, caring mentors and proven programs; but we cannot do it alone. We are grateful for leaders in our business community like Sentry Auto Group for championing great futures for our youth. We hope our neighbors and other community leaders will also step forward to join us in building better futures for our kids.” Said Chile Eng-Salazar, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of Middlesex County.
