Upcoming 45th Anniversary Boys and Girls Country is turning 45! Since its founding in 1971 by T.A. (Tommy) and Jean Robinson (read more about Ms. Jean on page 10), more than 1,400 children have called Boys and Girls Country home. We hope you’ll join us throughout 2016 as we look back fondly at the history of our home and highlight the many children, staff, Board Directors, donors, and volunteers that have helped fulfill the mission of Boys and Girls Country. Be a part of our celebration during Spring Festival Week, which kicks off on Saturday, April 30 with the 2nd Annual Pedal for a Purpose Bike Ride. Shop our huge Priceless Pre-Owned Possessions on Friday, May 6, and come back out to our Roberts Road campus on Saturday, May 7 for an all new Spring Festival, complete with music and a big birthday cake!
