On May 3, 300 people gathered to dedicate our new Dick & Sandy Dauch Campus home of the New NFL/Youth Education Town - Boys and Girls Club in Detroit. Our club is an astonishing building dedicated to the community.
A host of dignitaries and special guests cut the ceremonial ribbon. The NFL YET Center is officially open!
Thanks to the National Football League, Detroit Super Bowl XL host committee and sponsors, City of Detroit, Detroit Housing Commission, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and devoted community leaders Richard and Sandra Dauch, this club became a reality.
Our outstanding 32,000 square foot structure took less than one year to complete. When our club opened on June 18, 2007, we had a lot of children attend. We had 838 members enrolled in our 2007 summer program.
Currently our Club membership is 1,155. We have many great programs going on in our building that excites many members’ interest. The club has a lot of support and we are doing our part, as members, to keep our club up as a positive place for kids.
