“played an instrumental role…”

“The Boys and Girls Club of Durham is proud to count Matt Cardwell as one of our supporters. Matt played an instrumental role in helping our club to replace a van that had been vandalized beyond repair. He heard about our clubs need, and quickly went to work to arrange a fund-raising event on our behalf. He covered all of the basis and pulled off a successful evening which included a silent auction and raised close to $4,400 for our club and the children we support. The thing that was most amazing to us was that Matt was new to the Boys and Girls club “family” and yet he jumped in without hesitation and without fanfare to help us out when he heard about our hardship. Matt understands what making a difference in the community is all about.”
