While program sponsorship remains critically important, flexible general operating support is equally vital, allowing the Club to respond to the evolving needs of the youth and families we serve. Our key partners who ensure we remain adaptable, responsive, and impactful, include the following:

Santander Bank, N.A. recently awarded the Club a grant to support general operating activities and increased its funding by 50% over last year. Their continued investment strengthens our ability to fulfill our mission of transforming the lives of young people by providing safe, supportive, and opportunity-rich environments.

The Stone Foundation of New Jersey also awarded the Club additional funds this year to support operating activities. Their continued investment ensures the Club can provide the consistency and stability that our youth and families depend on every day.

The Community Foundation of New Jersey, through the Norene Quarado Fund, became a new partner this year. Their support for our “opportunity in every moment” vision empowers us to prepare youth for college and careers; provide essential resources like meals, caring mentors, academic enrichment, and mental health support; and keep our doors open to every child who needs us—regardless of their circumstances.
