Enjoy a Kid-Free Day or Join Us for Giving Tuesday!
Dear Parents,
Take a well-deserved break and drop the kids off at the clubhouse for a day of fun, games, and activities! Whether you use the time to tackle holiday shopping, catch up with friends, or simply relax, we’ve got you covered. Kids will enjoy a pizza lunch, access to all NBGC program rooms, and outdoor playtime if the weather cooperates.
Or, join us later for our Giving Tuesday Celebration at Martyr’s! Enjoy an exciting evening of dueling pianos, good company, and the chance to support NBGC’s mission of empowering youth in our community. Meanwhile, kids will be treated to a pizza dinner and a night of fun at NBGC.
We hope you can join us!
