Hartford’s Keystone Teen Center at the Asylum Hill Boys & Girls Club got a makeover and a $28,000 gift from Atlanta leasing company Aaron’s Inc., the company said Tuesday.
The company showed off new technology, sectionals, tables and chairs, sound systems and fresh coats of paint. The refresh was accomplished through a partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and input from the teen members, Aaron’s associates and club officials.
In 2015, the Aaron’s Foundation, Inc. announced a three-year, $5 million national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Keystone Program, helping teens develop their character and leadership skills in hopes of helping them reach their potential and creating positive change in the community.
Samuel S. Gray, Jr., president & CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hartford, said the contributions “give our teen members the opportunity to engage in programs that further their academic development and have access to resources to support their long-term college and career goals.”
