We’re excited to share some big news! Carter’s Inc. is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to support youth across the country—and right here in East Tennessee. Starting August 20, customers shopping at Carter’s stores in Knoxville can make a donation at checkout to help support early learning and arts programs at BGCTNV.
This special campaign runs through October 18, and every dollar raised stays local—helping kids in Anderson, Blount, Claiborne, Knox, and Loudon Counties grow, learn, and thrive.
“Carter’s and Boys & Girls Clubs of America have teamed up to combat youth learning loss and enhance community impact,” said Bart McFadden, President & CEO of BGCTNV. “We are incredibly grateful for the partnership with Carter’s and the generous contributions from their customers that support early learning and arts programs for Club kids.”
How It Works
At the register, customers can choose to donate $1, $3, or $5. Each donation supports real programs that make a big impact:
-
$1 can help a kid ace a test or give a teen 20 minutes of leadership training
-
$3 can provide 18 minutes of engaging, hands-on programming
-
$5 can feed two kids after school or give a kid access to a team sport
Why It Matters
Every $1 invested in Clubs creates $10.32 in economic benefits for Club members, their families, and the community. That’s a smart investment in a bright future.
When you give through Carter’s, you’re helping Club kids explore their creativity, build confidence, and discover a love for learning.
