<p>This past January, we moved into our new administrative offices at the corner of E. Colonial Drive and N. Magnolia Ave., thanks to the tremendous generosity and support of our friends, Syd &amp; Marianne Levy. Their amazing contribution enabled us to purchase our own building which now houses over 25 corporate staff members and now showcases a brand presence in downtown Orlando that will surely bring attention to our mission and overall movement.</p>
<p>THANK YOU to the Levy family, our long-time friends and supporters, for all that they do for our organization and the children we serve each year! Stay tuned for more updates on our new Service Center!</p>

<p>Ahkeem Hollimon is only the second regional Youth of the Year winner from our organization in our over 65-year history. This Fall, Ahkeem travelled to Washington, D.C., for the National Youth of the Year competition. While there, he visited the White House, met with President Obama in the Oval Office and attended a congressional breakfast.</p>
<p>This is a proud moment in the life of Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Central Florida and for our dedicated and driven Club member.</p>
