The Rite Aid Foundation has awarded the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue a $10,000 grant. The clubs will use the grant to provide materials for its Triple Play program, which provides at-risk youth with the skills to develop good health and fitness habits.

“The Rite Aid Foundation has supported Boys & Girls Clubs for several years, and we are pleased to provide a grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue in support of its Triple Play program,” said Gayle Rife, manager of The Rite Aid Foundation. We believe that programs such as the Triple Play program, which instill healthy lifestyle habits in children today, are critical to creating healthier communities in the future, which is why we’re happy to partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue.”

The Triple Play program is designed to increase the number of hours children are active in physical fitness as well as their knowledge of healthy habits and good nutrition. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase participants’ ability to positively interact with their peers and develop positive relationships.

Established in 1952, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue serves 10,000 children across its 11 clubhouses. To learn more about the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue visit bgcbellevue.org.
