Meet Marathi, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City 5th-grader and proud Club member!

Marathi discovered a love for gardening all thanks to Marywinne Sherwood, longtime Club volunteer and Board Member. “My favorite thing about the Club is the garden,” Marathi shared. “Ms. Marywinne comes and teaches us about the different fruits and vegetables. She always lets us take stuff home! One time, she let me take home some carrots and peas. I planted the peas at my house! So now I have a pea garden at home that I get to watch grow.” What began as a simple addition of a garden to the Club’s backyard has sparked a curiosity in Marathi for plant life, the natural world around her, and the way things grow. Your support opens doors for youth like Marathi. Even better, with a $50,000 match through December 31, your gift will be doubled to help even more kids build great futures. 💙✨ Visit our Linktree to donate now. #GreatFuturesStartHere #BGCDOC #AmericaNeedsClubKids #HolidaySpirit
