Seuss Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley (BGCAZ) for the months of March & April for the “Seuss Jersey Challenge”. We encourage you to support this organization that did not close during the Pandemic so families working on the front lines would have a place for their kids to go. 

As Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley continue in this new normal, they are still dealing with the lingering effects of Covid 19, and doing all they can to support their families. They still provide the standard, excellent programming you’ve heard of in many of their clubs. But where needed, they continue hosting “Distance Learning” to help club families, and the families affected in the community like those of essential workers in Healthcare, First Responders, heck everyone who needs resources. They serve more than 17,000 kids annually and must be able to continue investing in our youth, tweens and teens, in four priority outcomes: Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, Good Character & Citizenship, Workforce Readiness and Healthy Lifestyles. 

We hope you will consider a donation to the clubs to honor their support of our community. One easy way to help is through the Arizona State Tax Credit Program. BGCAZ is eligible through the Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCO). This is a state of Arizona program that allows taxpayers the ability to give a non-profit a donation for which they will get a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. This gives you the opportunity to direct their tax dollars (up to $400 individual or up to $800 filing jointly) to a non-profit instead of the state appropriating your funds. You then get that money back at tax time by paying less, or getting more, in your tax return. If you haven’t already participated for the 2020 tax year, you may give up until midnight, April 15, 2021.If you have any questions whatsoever, reach out directly to Tim Emory with BGCAZ at (602) 757-2641 or tim.emory@bgcaz.org
