This year, BPNC in collaboration with New Life Centers and 12th Ward Alderwoman Julia Ramirez's office, hosted several summer barbecues at Kelly Park where youth could meet one another, enjoy a meal, and have a safe space.
We received almost 800 toy donations that we were able to distribute to youth from the community. It was an event filled with love, joy, and tons of fun!
Congratulations to the BPNC team and the entire Collaborative for Community Wellness on being awarded the Ron Sable Award for Activism! Thank you Crossroads Fund for the recognition.
On Friday, Nov. 16th, BPNC celebrated our 20th anniversary, surrounded by more than 500 hundred people who have made our organization what it is today.
