The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati has received a $50 million gift from local philanthropists Harry and Linda Fath, WLWT5 reports.

The largest gift in the 83-year history of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati is designed to inspire others to donate and support initiatives such as the organization’s youth workforce development program. The couple was moved to make the gift because of Harry Fath’s experience as a high school volunteer at the Boys & Girls Clubs.

“The Boys & Girls Clubs are a tremendous asset to the community,” Fath told WLWT in a televised interview. “Linda and I want to inspire others to give and to help the Boys & Girls Clubs serve more kids.”

“We have ambitious plans to strengthen our existing program, open more sites, and serve more kids,” said Boys & Girls Clubs CEO Bill Bresser. “This extraordinary gift will allow us to leverage the funding to complete current growth initiatives and sustain these efforts in perpetuity.”
