MISSION

The mission of Toledo Leaders for the Clubs is to increase awareness, foster goodwill and raise funds to support the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo. TLC will focus these efforts on expanding the base of advocates who will champion the cause in Toledo and its surrounding communities.

ABOUT

For more than a dozen years, our local Club has held a spring or fall fundraising luncheon called the TLC. The luncheon recently moved to Renaissance Hotel Downtown Toledo and attracts prominent leaders from Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. Many who come to TLC are current donors, trustees, and community leaders. The Stand Up for Youth donation drive occurs every year at this event, bolstered by local and national speakers. Previous speakers include Judge Glenda Hatchett, Christine Brennan, Roxanne Spillet, Lucille O'Neal and former Mayor of Toledo Mike Bell. Speakers this year will highlight life-changing Club experiences, current programming news, and goals for expansion in the Toledo area.
