The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area (BGCAA) serves almost 10,000 kids every year and more than 1,000 every day via 15 Clubs in Travis County. More than a safe-haven for kids “at-risk,” Boys & Girls Club is a place that nurtures the limitless potential of our youth. BGCAA’s mission is – “to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.” With their doors open 245 days a year and more than 1,600 total hours of programming, BGCAA is playing a vital role in developing our community’s most precious, natural resource – our children.
The Cole Pittman Memorial Fund was established in 2001 when Pittman, a sophomore who had played on defense in 23 games in two seasons at Texas, was killed in a tragic early morning car accident as he was returning to school from his family's home in Shreveport, LA. Funds raised in Pittman’s honor will be used to build a field house in his name at Evangel Christian Academy, Pittman's home church and high school.
