As stated on their website, the mission of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County is simple. They strive “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” The programs offered by Boys and Girls Clubs focus on: Character and Leadership, Health and Wellness, and Academic Success. They offer services to every child, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.

The difference made in the community by Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County is found in the smile of each kid they serve. The committee for the 11th Annual Arlington Turkey Trot is honored to partner with such a praiseworthy and commendable organization, and hopes the community will come out in droves to show their support of such a valuable community gem.
