I am joining forces with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana to ask YOU to become a champion for our kids!

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana provides safe and enriching environments for young people after school, offering programs focused on academic success, character and leadership development, and healthy lifestyles. Serving over 8,000 youth annually throughout their 10 Clubs in Lake and Porter Counties, they are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

A bit about me...

I am an Irish immigrant who made my home in Northwest Indiana, bringing with me not just a love for my homeland, but a deep desire to keep its spirit alive. I’ve poured my energy into building a bridge between my Irish roots and my American life by creating the charity organization, For the Love of Ireland, dedicated to celebrating Irish culture through cultural events, community outreach, and fundraising efforts.

I'm raising funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs because I know firsthand how much a strong, supportive community can shape a young person’s life. I’m invested in helping to create brighter futures, close opportunity gaps, and give young people the tools they need to thrive. I’ve always believed in the power of belonging — and every child deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and feel valued. When we invest in our youth, we invest in a brighter future for all of us.

As a Clubhouse Hero during the 2025 Clubhouse Hero Challenge from May 25 to June 8, I am competing against other local leaders to see who can raise the most funds to support bright futures for our region’s youth. If I win, I will deliver on a special promise for the kids at one local Club. Your contribution gives our region’s children the tools to become the superheroes of their own stories.
