G iving B ack Is Amazing Story About Chase McNeill~

I t’s no surprise to hear about another successful student emerging from the Dane County Boys and Girls Club. With a don’t quit mentality on America’s youth, the staff makes them - selves available for the students in every way possible. From mentoring younger kids, raising volunteers, and provid - ing internships that truly develop strong character traits for success, this group of people have proven time and again that they care. Having a variety of programs for kids to be a part of, the stories that emerge over time will undoubtedly have a ripple effect of a positive outcome for years to come. Chase McNeil has been a part of the Boys and Girls Club over the years. He enjoyed being a part of different programs of - fered there, has learned a lot, and is now enjoying the oppor - tunity to give back to a program to help other kids in the same way it helped him. Chase is currently attending Dixie State University and is majoring in Business Administration and minoring in Clothing Design. He states, “I’m going there for business administration so that I know how to run a business, but I’m taking clothing design be - cause that’s what I like. I also participate in BSU (Black Student

Union).” Dixie State notes on their website, “BSU educates members of the community

as a whole about the history and present life of black cultures. They raise awareness and encourage others to learn more about different black ethnicity.” While interviewing Chase about his favorite subject, he speaks with enthusiasm, “I’m studying clothing design for that too!” Being an outgoing and athletic young man, he is also a part of the university football team. When talking about the Boys and Girls Club and his experience there, he states, “I think being a part of the club is a great opportunity. You don’t have to be afraid of not knowing what you want to do because they will help you. This club opens up doors to meet people, and it’s life-chang - ing. Being involved means a lot to me because I attended as a kid, and now we are raising money to help these kids. It’s amazing to be able to give back.”
