The Boys and Girls Club received a $5,000 donation from Nationwide on behalf of The Partners Group. The donation will be used toward youth programs including education, health skills, sports, and fitness.

The Partners in Giving Program allows companies in the Nationwide® Private Client group the opportunity to give a charitable donation in their local communities. “The Partners Group fully believes in the mission of the Boys and Girls Club and all they have done for the kids and teenagers in our community,” says Mike Gano, Managing Partner at The Partners Group. “We strongly value building today’s younger generation for tomorrow’s future as positive contributors to society.”

Samantha Balin, Personal Insurance Advisor at The Partners Group, describes the day “We had a great afternoon hanging out with the kids at the Mercer Island Boys & Girls Club, practicing the Nationwide jingle, and touring their wonderful facility. It really gave us a feel for how impactful this organization (The Boys and Girls Club) has been to local families for many years.”
