SUN PRAIRIE, WI – June 14, 2023 – Boys and Girls Clubs of Dane County recognizes QBE North America for supporting its mission with a gift of $25,000. The donation will help enable Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County to further its efforts to promote preschool and school-age children’s emotional and social development, in addition to their academic achievement.
QBE's support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County has been instrumental in the organization’s mission to empower and uplift youth in the community. Since 2019, QBE has demonstrated its commitment by providing over $50,000 in financial support. QBE’s involvement has been vital, especially during the Club’s relocation to Sun Prairie, as QBE played a crucial role in the expansion effort and the successful completion of the construction project in 2020. Moreover, QBE's dedication extends beyond financial contributions. In 2022 alone, QBE employees volunteered their time to more than 50 shifts, significantly impacting the well--being of staff and families of the organization. Additionally, two of QBE's employees Joy Matthews and Nicole Lemke, serve on the Sun Prairie Boys & Girls Club Action Council, where they actively contribute to supporting the organization’s annual needs.
