About the Partnership:
Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Maytag share a heritage of dependability dating back more than 100 years. Maytag builds high-performing and dependable products, and communities across America depend on Boys & Girls Clubs to help young people achieve great futures. This year Maytag brand and Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) will honor 25 Boys & Girls Club professionals and volunteers for their dependable, positive impact on America’s youth with a Maytag Dependable Leader Award. Recipients will receive this distinction along with a $20,000 financial award to support the Club’s efforts to be a safe, dependable place that enable young people to achieve great futures. The grant will further extend the individual’s respective focus with the Clubs to continue and enhance their demonstrated commitment to helping youth achieve great futures. During the past three years, Maytag and BGCA have recognized and promoted dependability – a quality that is at the core of what the Clubs do every day and is central to Maytag brand. The Dependable Leader Award program is an extension of the three-year partnership that Maytag brand has had with BGCA.
