Club 66 was first created to commemorate the year in which the original clubhouse opened—1966. The goal was to gather 66 generous members giving $66 a month to provide ongoing support for kids to attend the Club. And now, to celebrate the Club's 55 birthday and the success of Club 66, we are happy to announce that Club 66 has been expanded to include new giving levels and great perks for all of our friends who join.
