On Thursday, June 19th, BGCCA collaborated with Men On A Mission to host concluding festivities following the Juneteenth March. The City of Albany issued a heat advisory leading to the cancellation of many outdoor activities. Boys & Girls Clubs stepped up by opening the Clubhouse and gathering a group of teens to help out for an event with more than 225 people. The event featured live music & entertainment, outdoor food vendors, indoor retail vendors, and community speakers.
