2020 Annual Report

RISING TO THE
2020 ANNUAL REPORT

MARATHON IS PROUD TO SUPPORT
STEM programs
for the
BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS of Skagit County
From engineers to pipefitters, chemists to accountants, IT specialists to welders,
Marathon’s success relies on our ability to recruit and retain employees with
exceptional STEM-related skills. As an employer constantly seeking out top-talent
and as a socially responsible corporate citizen, supporting STEM education-related
programs is the cornerstone of Marathon’s community investment strategy.
We are proud to collaborate with the Boys & Girls Club of Skagit County on the
establishment of the Marathon STEM Academy, and further its mission to enable all
young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Friends,
I start my second year as chair of this board with feelings of hope and confidence in our
organization and our great community. Your support during this year has sustained our ability
to succeed in our organization’s mission: To enable all young people, especially those who
need us most, to reach their full potential, as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The
innovation of our staff, partnerships with other community organizations, and your support
has made this all possible.
We have partnered with other children’s organizations and local school districts to help
us achieve the goal of creating safe places for our children where they can reach that full
potential. These partnerships have allowed us to keep our full day programs open to children
and to provide necessary childcare for our community. Our staff has continued to go above
and beyond in their duties to ensure safety and fun for our members. From tie dyeing their
own face masks to launching Legos with homemade catapults, the staff has made sure our
Clubs have operated with as much a sense of normal as possible. Follow the Skagit Clubs on
our social media accounts to see some of the creative ways our staff has brought fun to the
Clubs while keeping safety top of mind. We have also worked hard to make sure community
engagement has stayed just as fun.
Our Annual ‘Great Futures Gala’ went virtual this year with our guest speaker, Jackie Joyner–
Kersee, telling us her story of growing up with the Club. Take–home boxes with goodies and
an online social hour for guests of the Gala brought attendees together for another successful
night of fundraising and “fun-raising” for our organization. Carrying this idea forward, the
annual breakfast in March is sure to be even more entertaining. Our team has created a live
‘Rise ‘N Shine Skagit’ morning show that will be entertaining and uplifting… possibly, even
better than that morning cup of coffee. I am always impressed with the talent of our team and
I look forward to seeing this new virtual event format.
Thank you for your support and working with us to do Whatever It Takes to fulfill our mission
and bring much needed services to the children and families of our county. As we always have,
the Clubs will serve those who need us most, and your commitment to our mission makes
that possible. I am honored to serve as your chair again, and look forward to everything we
will accomplish this year.
With best wishes and sincere gratitude,

Dear Club Friends and Family,
To Our Many Donors
What does it look like to change a
life? Through the Boys & Girls Clubs,
interests are being ignited & mentors
are making an impact. At the Clubs,
youth have access to programs that
include tutoring & tech & health &
fitness & arts & music, & the list goes
on. At Boys & Girls Clubs we don’t
do just one thing, we do Whatever It
Takes to meet the needs of every kid
who comes through those doors. We
are here to create opportunities for
our youth & we know YOU are here
too. Thank YOU for joining us in doing
Whatever It Takes to provide Great
Futures for our youth!

An Annual Report is an opportunity for an organization to demonstrate to the community how
investments made toward the mission were utilized. This year, the circumstances created by
COVID–19 really defined what we were able to accomplish. Simply keeping programs open,
safely, to ensure students had a physically, emotionally, and mentally safe, fun, and positive
place to be during the extended school closures was, and continues to be, our primary focus.
Yet, that is not the only outcome reached.
We are blessed to have an amazing, dedicated staff team. Because of them, programs and
services continued on without interruption, and in all of 2020, there was no direct transmission
of COVID–19 within our Clubs. Their vigilance in maintaining Safety as our #1 Priority is
commendable, especially in these challenging times. From helping a kindergarten student
navigate through their first day of school in a remote–learning environment, to preparing and
delivering thousands of meals each week, Clubs are here for kids, teens, and families in Skagit.
The theme for 2020 quickly became adaptability. We had to remain responsive to evolving
health guidance, changing community circumstance and needs, and the ebb and flow of
resources available. Boys & Girls Clubs began serving children just prior to the Civil War in
America. We have important historical context to reflect upon—navigating through the 1918
Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression, the first Civil Rights Era, and world wars and
regional/local military conflicts that are unfortunately, too numerous to count. It is true our
Boys & Girls Club movement, like America itself, has not faced such a confluence of crises
before, but I have great faith in our community, our staff, our volunteers, our kids and teens
themselves, that we can overcome this—together.
Our strategies for recovery include an increased focus on Social and Emotional Learning
competencies, Academic Supports, and Workforce Development. So far, resources have
really targeted the youngest of students, and it has been necessary. However, we have a
group of Sophomores through Seniors who have yet to experience their first job search or
engagement in the workforce. There are important developmental milestones on important
soft skills, like knowing to show up on time, how to work as a team, self–accountability, and
more, which will impact economic recovery immediately and in the years to come. We are
going to do #WhateverItTakes to support kids and teens how and when they need us. We
are so thankful to our community for the trust and confidence you place in Clubs and our
mission—to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full
potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Yours in service,
Ron McHenry

For our staff & families, safety is going to inevitably be the
number one priority for the Clubs. However, ask a Club
Member and they’ll tell you that theirs is to have fun. We
asked Members to tell us their favorite thing about coming
to the Clubs, and they all had a lot to share. Thank you for
helping create a place for friendships to grow, learning to
happen, and Great Futures to build! Look for these letters
and quotes featured throughout the Report.
Skagit Club Members and Families,
While there is little doubt that this past year has brought forward new safety challenges
to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Skagit County on multiple fronts, there is great reason for
optimism moving forward. Preparing for and dealing with the intricacies of the COVID–19
pandemic, increased tensions related to social injustices across the country, and developing
coping strategies for the myriad challenges faced by our kids on a daily basis have created
opportunities for reflection on who we are, those we serve, and the importance we place on
valuing the safety and security of each youth served.
It is no exaggeration to say we do whatever it takes to make the Clubs a safe place for
kids! The protocols for masking up, implementing deep cleaning procedures, practicing social
distancing, and stressing the importance of washing hands frequently, are easy for anyone to
see. What may be less apparent is the focus we place on the unseen psychological impacts that
living in today’s world brings upon our clients. Clubs and their leadership provide opportunities
for exercises in leadership for those interested in trying it out and building self-esteem for those
who need it most. Club leaders suggest effective methods to resist temptation and bullying
behaviors, and have open, honest communication in a trust–building environment. Fostering a
culture of diversity, equity and inclusion contributes to the important work of turning out future
contributing members of our community. We want our kids to learn these important skills that
contribute to their safety, security and well-being, while having an abundance of fun!
Every Club activity places the safety and security of all involved as Priority #1. Protocols in
areas of safety and health have been crafted with the guidance of the Skagit County Health
Department and are continuously reviewed and updated as necessary for quality. These
actions, along with many others obvious and discrete, are focused on keeping our promise
to model a “can–do, whatever it takes” attitude and outcomes. We are proud to do this in an
effort to provide for families who need us most, and to ensure their children are participating in
a safe, clean, positive and inclusive environment.
Yours in service to our kids,
Bill Overby, Chair

Boeing Grant Supports Technology Labs
If you were to ask one of us in January 2020 what our
greatest needs for work might be, or the frustrations
that put our hair on end—faulty internet, or a computer
crashing would have been irksome, but might not
have risen to the level of critical. Over the past year,
however, the challenges due to technology have
exploded to the forefront. At the Clubs, as we serve
youth during remote schooling, especially, one aspect
of ongoing mentoring is Technology proficiency. Being
able to maneuver multiple computer applications,
understanding the internal workings of the machine,
and just feeling comfortable sitting down and getting
a computer to do what you need it to, all fall into our
support of STEM, and align with best practices in
youth development.
During the Fall & Winter of 2020, we had a great
opportunity to bolster the support through tech
lab renovation done at our Mount Vernon and
Sedro–Woolley Clubs, thanks to a grant from
the Boeing Employees Community Fund. This
grant supported the purchase of new computers,
peripherals, A/V equipment, tables & chairs, and
getting the spaces best suited for ongoing programs,
as well as regular use during homework support.
These technology improvements are a foundational
way that we can better serve her kids, as we continue
to improve our operations.
Technology equipment is often a challenging expense,
because it is both ongoing as new systems evolve &
come out, as well as significant due to the cost—and
on a limited budget, it can mean direct trade-off to
programs. With the support of the Boeing Employees
Community Fund, we are able to continue to direct
our resources to the staff mentoring that makes the
biggest difference for kids, while also having the gift
of new tech labs, that will allow us to better serve the
aspirations of our kids, into the future.
Similar to our work with iClubhouse during the Spring
and Summer, as we provided virtual Club programs to
members, we look forward to using these Tech Labs
to increase the impact of Club programs. Thank you
to the Boeing Employees Community Fund for this
great investment in our kids’ development.

Hosting a Virtual Gala in 2020:
Our Takeaways
On November 6, 2020, our four–person Resource
Development team popped a celebratory bottle of
champagne in the back room of TrueTone Studio. We
had just finished streaming our Virtual Great Futures
Gala 10 minutes earlier and that “we did it!” feeling
began to sink in. After more than three months of
preparation, this moment marked the wrap of the
Skagit Boys & Girls Clubs’ first–ever virtual gala. It’s no
doubt the Virtual Great Futures Gala looked different
from our usual in-person event, but regardless, it was
something to celebrate.
If you’ve attended any of our live events in the
past, you know they’re a good ol’ time filled with
camaraderie, entertainment, and philanthropy. So in
August, when we realized the fate of in-person events
for 2020 and ‘virtual’ was dubbed the poster word
for at-home temporary (not–so–temporary) offices, we
faced the question: How do we bring that same level
of excitement of our in-person gala to a virtual gala?
The answer: We had no idea. Well, sort of. It turns out
we could convert most aspects of our Great Futures
Gala to a virtual platform if we got creative. For example,
we typically invite a famous Club alum to the event to
share their story and a message of encouragement.
Instead of an in–person speech, we hosted Jackie
Joyner–Kersee on our virtual streaming ‘stage’ for an
exclusive Q&A. Our usual live auction hosted by our
rock star auctioneer & emcee, Gee Scott, sporting
his iconic sequin blazer turned into a live auction
streamed right to our guests’ living rooms—still with
Gee and his blazer, of course (Thanks, Gee!). As for
our sit-down dinner? We sent ‘gala boxes’ filled with
chocolates, salmon, cheese, crackers, photo props,
and an engraved wine glass to each guest.
We sent invitations. We ordered boxes. We recorded
videos and prepared speeches. We began to see the
light at the end of our virtual–event–planning tunnel.
But there was one aspect we feared we couldn’t
recreate at our virtual event. That aspect was the
guest interactions and excitement that comes from
getting together with a group of friends for a night out.
It seemed downright impossible to bring that type of
energy to a virtual platform, or so we thought.
This is where we’d be remiss not to mention the real
reason for our success that night back in November.
It wasn’t the fancy appetizers, live auction, or pre–
recorded segments, the real reason for our success
that night was you! We hosted a virtual happy hour for
guests to interact with each other and guest speaker,
Jackie Joyner–Kersee. Guests used the photo booth
props from their boxes to take pictures, and our
event chat box was a constant stream of shout outs
between attendees and staff.
We learned a few lessons during the virtual event
planning process. 1.) Virtual events can be fun! 2.) The
more you put into the event, the more your guests
will get out of it. 3.) It takes a community to pull off a
successful virtual event & we can’t thank you enough
for the support you’ve shown us this past year.
When we were popping that bottle of champagne in the back of the studio,
we may have been raising a toast to the end of a successful night, but
we were also raising a toast to you. And all of the other sponsors, guests,
board members, donors, and supporters in the community who made the
night one to celebrate.
As we kick off 2021 with a virtual event under our belt, we can’t wait to
include you in what we have planned for this year. Starting off with our
debut of KLUB ‘Rise ‘n Shine Skagit’ Morning Show on March 24th in
place of our Annual Breakfast. We’ll see you there!
For more information and free registration to KLUB ‘Rise ‘n Shine Skagit’
Morning Show visit skagitclubs.org/events/annual-breakfast.

Congratulations
to our 2021 Youth
of the Year: Aja Lee!
Aja is a Sophomore at Concrete High School. She’s
been a member of the Concrete Boys & Girls Club
since its opening in October of 2018. Aja has been a
natural leader in our Teen Center, while also developing
her leadership skills with us. She does her best to
model the way for younger members, and hold her
peers accountable for their actions and behaviors.
Aja plans to complete high school and go to college
for a degree, she just doesn’t know which one yet!
Along her journey, it is Aja’s hope to continue her Boys
& Girls Clubs membership through graduation, then
to return to us as either a staff member or volunteer.
From Our YOY: The
Pandemic in My Life
Of all of the challenges I have faced in my life, being
cooped up in my house for a year now has been a
pretty tough one. The pandemic shut down the
schools, and pushed everyone to remote learning;
being away from friends for so long has been hard to
cope with. I haven’t been able to get out much, or live
life normally.
Being in a virtual learning environment is strange.
Not waking up to catch a bus, or walking around the
school — even the assignments aren’t the same, and
there aren’t a lot of hands on things we can do, or
group projects. With all that said, my schedule has
been thrown off and altered so much that it will be
difficult to get back in the swing of things.
This pandemic has changed perspectives on how the
world lives. Haruki Murakami once said, “And once
the storm is over you won’t remember how you made
it through.... You won’t be the same person who
walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” I wanted
to include this quotation because it is the perfect
example of how life is going, right now. The “storm”
is the pandemic, and we are all fighting it. We won’t
be the same, though — we have had to learn different
ways to live. We are learning to never leave our homes
with out a mask, buy in bulk to limit our trips to the
grocery store, and look to the government to guide
how to safely live our day to day lives.

Having the Boys & Girls Clubs open back up has helped me and others
to get help with school, and be able to see people in a safe environment. I
have had so much fun at Boys & Girls Clubs in the past, and I continue to
have fun, even during the pandemic. Although we have not been able to go
on any trips since the pandemic, we still find ways to get outside and get
together, whether it be soccer, a short walk, or doing homework outside.
The Clubs provide a sense of normalcy through the feeling of togetherness.

Introducing: Club Mentor
A foundational element of Boys & Girls Clubs for more than 150 years is
the role that caring, supportive relationships play in the lives of the kids and
teens through their development. The core of these relationships are formed
with direct-service staff, who provided guided activities and implement
intentional curriculum and other interventions to facilitate a Club member
acquiring their own #GreatFuture. Volunteers have often supplemented this
through occasional and regular engagement, but in a less structured way.
Unfortunately, because of COVID–19 health and safety protocols and the
organization’s desire to mitigate any potential transmission risk, in–person
volunteering has been on hiatus, but hope is on the horizon.
As the Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County continues to navigate the day–
to–day reality that is Crisis Response, leadership understands that an eye
must also be strategically kept on the horizon that is Recovery. To this
end, funding has been secured to jump–start the “Club Mentor” initiative.
A full–time, dedicated staff person will work to recruit, onboard, and train
volunteers, targeting individuals willing to make a regular commitment of
one hour at least every other week. Consistency is important to the at–risk
and often most disadvantaged youth in our communities that Clubs serve,
though a place will be found for anyone wanting to be a part of the solution.
It is hoped the Club Mentor program will increase the number of adult
role models in Skagit Clubhouses by more than 50% during peak hours.
This provides for lower adult to child staff ratios, which will be maximized
through integrating purposeful Social and Emotional Learning activities.
While the shutdown in March was quite binary—one day schools and the
Clubs were open in traditional circumstances, the next everything was
different—the initial recovery period will be anything but that. It will take
time for adolescents to trust adults outside their own households again.
Meanwhile, they will likely face incredible pressures, mainly unintentional
ones that relate to the disruption of their academic progress. There are
tremendous challenges and obstacles to overcome with the best support
network in place, and the majority of kids and teens that participate in Club
programs do not possess such a network.
Hiring for the new Club Mentor position will begin in earnest in February,
with a desire to have a candidate secured and beginning work by mid–
March. They will spend the spring developing the systems and processes
required to scale such an ambitious program quickly, and start volunteer
recruiting efforts in earnest by June. Individuals interested in participating will
be provided training in Sex Abuse Prevention Practices and organizational
policies regarding volunteer interaction strategies, “Program Basics” which
is like a boot camp for Club professionals, and “Sanford Harmony,” the
Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum utilized by the Boys & Girls
Clubs of Skagit County. To get in the queue, now, and reserve your spot
in being part of the recovery solution of Club Mentor, email Mission

Great Beginnings — Early Childcare Access
& Support
As we wrestle with the continued challenges of
COVID–19, and look back at a year of major changes,
one of the key reflection points is how we care for
our kids. This was at the forefront of our minds when
we made the commitment to be open from day one
of the shutdowns, providing essential workers and
emergency health care personnel a place for their kids
to be. This reflection stayed with us as we found ways
to be open this entire past year, supporting the ones
most impacted by the pandemic—our kids.
Questioning what supports are needed, and more
specifically, how we address the needs of families
looking for care for their youngest kids—is something
that has given us great pause. Boys & Girls Clubs have
been committed to the best in youth development
for over 150 years, and in Skagit County for nearly
3 decades—but most often that work addresses
school-age youth. When members turn 6, traditionally,
they are eligible to join the Club.
For many years, parents & community members
have approached Club Staff about childcare options
for younger children. Are spots available for younger
siblings, or would we ever consider providing before–
school programming, or full–day options for working
families throughout the entire year? And all these
considerations are tough questions for us, as we
strive to do whatever it takes for our youth, especially,
those who need us most, and balance the constraints
of limited resources. At our Clubs in Anacortes,
and Sedro–Woolley, especially, these questions are
commonplace.
Throughout the pandemic, the increased need for
childcare has grown more pronounced. Between a
laser focus on questions of support during the out–
of–school hours, or general support for younger kids
throughout the entire day, much of the attention to
academic improvement and supervision has come
to the forefront. Part of this challenge is seen in the
overall lack of offerings for childcare, and the everpresent
burden of high costs. The limited spots
available fill quickly, and wait lists are commonplace
at almost every facility. In addition, as all of us have
been financially impacted by the pandemic, and many
businesses have been forced to close—childcare
facilities haven’t been exempt. With some childcare
facilities having to shut down, this has only increased
the shortage of overall spaces available.
Starting last year, there was an opportunity for the
Clubs to partner with the Anacortes Family Center,
and help build out a new childcare space in a new and
forthcoming housing development. In providing a new
childcare space in Anacortes, for the first time, we will
start serving youth as young as age 3, starting in 2022.
This will be a significant service to the community,
and allow not just families desperately looking for
childcare, but especially families for whom the high
cost of early childcare care is a barrier—to have a
place for the kids. We are excited to partner, and look
forward to this foray into early learning, bringing our
expertise in youth development, in mentoring, and in
social & emotional development—all with the same
commitment to do whatever it takes, and enable our
youngest members to reach their full potential. We
look forward to continuing this partnership with the
Anacortes Family Center.
Beyond the Anacortes childcare project, we also had
the opportunity to take advantage of a Department
of Commerce grant, starting this last November, that
is allowing us to look into the cost of bringing in a
new childcare facility to Sedro–Woolley. This grant
allows us to survey the demand, the ability to pay
for childcare locally, as well as the cost to renovate
or to build a new childcare facility. Partnering with
the Sedro–Woolley Chamber of Commerce, United
General District #304, the Sedro–Woolley School
District, Childcare Aware, and other local groups on
our Taskforce, we are working to complete all of the
surveying by early summer, and present a summary
of findings to the Department of Commerce. More
information on the project can be found on the Clubs’
website.
Proud supporter of
Right from the beginning of the pandemic we continued
our commitment to serve kids, whatever it took, as a
way of helping them reach their full potential. Looking
at this continued challenge of lacking early childcare,
and beginning to figure out how we might be able to
further support, we are excited to find more ways to
serve families, this community, and most especially—
our kids.

By the Numbers: 2020 Income & Expenses
The 2020 year–end totals are generated internally and come Events and Fundraisers saw a tremendous drop year over

Revenue increases that helped to support our ongoing

and grants. Some of these individual donations reflect shifts
In a more typical year, each Club location provides from not attending an event. Many of the grants received
approximately 1,450 hours of service—after school and full– were one-time investments in the Spring, and it is becoming
day programs during the summer. In 2020, because of the clearer they will not be repeated. To maintain current levels of
pandemic, our average service hours increased nearly 100%, operations, through at least the end of the school year, it is
to more than 2,400. As one might expect, revenue from likely our small operational reserve may need to be tapped.
A Closer Look
2019 Total Income: $2,393,773
2020 Total Income: $2,713,375
2019 Total Expenses: $2,355,324
2020 Total Expenses: $2,597,454
Not surprisingly, there are significant swings in expenses
shown. Most elements of Personal Protective Equipment and
supplies for staff are found under Program Administration
Supplies & Equipment. In having buildings open for more
hours, Occupancy costs also saw a notable increase.
The Program Delivery category year over year is more
nuanced. In some line items, such as Field Trips, there were
significant reductions and eliminations. Others, including Club
Supplies, Food and Nutrition, and Program Equipment, saw
substantial increases. Often, this related to an expansion of
new program sites to allow for physical distancing, necessary
investments in technology infrastructure for health screening,
and a loss of efficiency in ordering and using bulk supplies. It
is simply more expensive to provide each child an individual
bottle of glue even when buying in bulk quantities than it is to
buy 1–gallon jugs that are shared.

The Core of our Clubs:
Youth Development
Professionals
Youth development professionals have always been the backbone of Boys
& Girls Clubs. They are the staff members who work daily with her kids,
guiding, consoling, supporting, teaching, and working one side or members
as they engage in programs, play games, or just sit and talk. YDPs are
there to celebrate a successful accomplishment, encourage tackling a new
challenge, mourn and console during a loss, or simply be there as a shoulder
of support. They are mentors. Every time you hear a member speak about
their time at the Club, or the support & encouragement they received—a
Youth Development Professional, YDP for short, is named. YDPs make the
Clubs special, and they are critical to successful youth development.

Youth Development Professionals continued
During a normal year, our YDPs would spend afternoons during the school
year helping members maneuver the time between the school day, and
home. Summers get a bit more hectic, as we transition to a longer day, and
having to balance two shifts of staff members, with most kids attending
almost all week. This year, however, the challenge has been that of normal
summer scheduling—but all year long; intensified with higher staff–to–
member ratios, and more insulated groups. With each club site open 11
to 12 hours per day, five days a week, since March—making sure that
all safety protocols & procedures are followed, that schedules aren’t over
wieldy, that staff have a break, and that we are able to offer the same level
of care and support, is most felt by our YDPs. They served more meals,
ensuring that supplemental nutrition reached our most vulnerable kids; they
ran new, dynamic programs through our virtual platform, iClubhouse, to
reach those members at home. More than ever, they have stepped up to
this challenge.
Our youth development professionals are heroes. They have been at the
Clubs, everyday, for our members—dedicated to serving those most in
need of support, or a place to be during a pandemic. When the Skagit
Clubs stood at a crossroads of whether to strive to remain open for kids &
families, our YDPs rose to the occasion. Youth development professionals
are the backbone of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County, and 2020
demonstrated just how resilient, resourceful, committed, and caring they
can be. They continue to be here for those who need us most, enabling
members to reach their full potential—despite a pandemic.
