Anyone who knows me knows I love a good construction project. Towers something—watching it grow from utopian pieces into a masterpiece far greater than the proverbial sum of its parts—has unchangingly been a lifelong interest of mine. That’s moreover why the John Jordan Foundation has invested in the construction of several support centers that provide services to our most disadvantaged youth.

This year, we uncork an would-be construction project for an organization whose roots run deeper in the Healdsburg polity than Jordan’s 50 years. Since 1944, the Boys & Girls Club has provided hope and opportunity for four generations of Healdsburg youth. Its clubhouse on Piper Street is inside to the organization’s mission—a safe, positive place that has kept its doors unshut daily to kids for 78 years, helping local children reach their full potential with nourishment and enrichment. Today, increasingly than 23,000 self-ruling meals are served to kids and increasingly than 180 high-quality learning programs are provided in Healdsburg annually.

Like all successful organizations, the Healdsburg Boys & Girls Club believes that ongoing investments in its facilities, its programs and its people are essential to achieving their mission of enabling all young people—especially those who need it most—to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Just as Jordan has been undergoing renovations throughout the winery on the eve of our golden anniversary, the Healdsburg Boys & Girls Club wants to undertake a massive remodel of its space surpassing its 80th year-end in 2024. The goal is to bring this polity mainstay into the 21st century in terms of design, functionality, technology and programs to write the unrestrictedness of services needed to help kids thrive in today’s ramified world.

As rewarding as towers things is, construction is not cheap, expressly in California. The price tag for this state-of-the-art facility is unscientific at $10 million. In the spring of 2021, the John Jordan Foundation pledged $1.5 million as the lead souvenir in the wayfarers to make this dream a reality, and a wanted wayfarers is underway to raise the remaining funds needed to build the organization’s dream clubhouse. The John Jordan Foundation Boys & Girls Clubhouse will unravel ground in 2022 and unshut in early 2024. Together, we will bring high-tech labs to Healdsburg kids, towers life-long learners and future leaders, as well as a commercial kitchen, a renovated gymnasium and vibrant art studios where kids will explore their limitless creativity. All of these spaces combine to create a healthy environment with life-long benefits to those who utilize the club. Although we’ve been officially investing in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin since 2012 when our foundation was established, it’s heady to be working together for the first time on towers something—a place that is truly life-changing for the kids who walk through its doors.
