Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation Camp
Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation Camp was such an amazing experience! Not only for us as camp chaperones, but most importantly for our Club Kids!
The kids had the opportunity to experience all kinds of baseball and softball skills & drills that were taught by college coaches and players. Not only did the kids learn about baseball and softball, but they were taught about leadership, respect, and responsibility. The kids had the first time experience in an airport, airplane, traveling outside of the state, and spending an entire week away from home. It was a week these kids will never forget!
The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation is quite literally a life changing program for these kids. We at the Stateline Boys & Girls Clubs were incredibly fortunate to be able to participate in this year’s camp.

Dear Supporters
Mark A. Rand,
Chief Professional Officer
It’s hard to believe as I write down these thoughts that Summer Programming at our clubs has come to an end. What a fun and impactful summer it was! As summer closes, the school year begins. Our Clubs fill that most important role as afterschool program providers.
I believe that the Stateline Boys & Girls Clubs are poised to be one of the forces shaping the future of the Stateline area. We are serving the children of the Stateline and our future. Most of these children will remain or return to our community and become our future workforce, parents, volunteers and civic leaders. By providing academic support, good character and citizenship, life skills and mentoring, along with healthy lifestyles, it’s easy to imagine the impact of these efforts over the next 20 years.
If we don’t provide these essential skills for those that need us most, we can all imagine where they will end up. Research shows that children who come from poverty stricken homes have less access to summer programs, after school programs and mentoring. This social and academic achievement gap between children in poverty and those from higher income households is exactly what Boys & Girls Clubs mean by “those who need us most.” However, we can’t do it alone. It’s because of people like you that help us provide these skills. Please continue to help us secure the future of the Stateline area for ourselves and our children. Get involved – volunteer, take a tour of one of our clubs, continue to donate and support and make a difference. GREAT FUTURES START HERE!
Thanks for all you do,
Mark A. Rand

Hendricks CareerTek
Our CareerTek crime scene investigations are all solved thanks to help from the City of Beloit Police Department professionals who were on had to help us learn more about what it takes to conduct an investigation. Participants lifted finger prints, learned how to approach a crime scene and tested their skills on a mock scene. A huge thank you to the City of Beloit Police Department, Lt. Sayles, SRO Ox, Detective Cassiopi, Detective McMasters, Detective Davies and J. Vance–you made this a great experience.
What an Amazing Difference!
Thank you to the City of Beloit City Council and Laura Williamson for recognizing Hendricks CareerTek’s Advanced Construction participants, CCI, and Krueger-Haskell staff for all of the hard work that was put in on renovating the men’s and women’s locker rooms at the golf course.
End of Summer Fun
To celebrate the last day of the Summer Programs the Beloit Boys and Girls Club hosted a carnival.
South Beloit Kids celebrated their last day of Summer with Splash Day! Members participated in different types of water games, got to throw paint and create a group splash art, hit piñatas, and had a cook out with CEO Mark Rand and Board President Matt Reynolds.
