Expanding Horizons for Youth: A New Partnership

Aligned Data Centers has recently unveiled a significant partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Frederick County (BGCFC) aimed at improving access to youth programs in the area. This collaboration marks an important step in ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

The Blue Bubbly Event

On October 8, 2026, the BGCFC will host its second annual Blue Bubbly event at the 7th Sister Restaurant. This occasion will not only celebrate the community's achievements but also serve as a primary fundraising effort for the organization. Aligned Data Centers proudly takes on the role of Co-Presenting Sponsor, demonstrating their commitment to local youth development.

CEO of BGCFC, Timika Thrasher, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are delighted to welcome Aligned as a partner in support of our youth. Our mission thrives on the support from community members and corporate sponsors who see the value in investing in the futures of our youth."

Joanna Soucy, Executive Vice President of Brand Strategy at Aligned, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of building strong foundations for the future by investing in the local youth. "We recognize that a sustainable community is built on the potential of its young people. Supporting BGCFC allows us to contribute directly to the development of a nurturing environment that fosters growth, encouragement, and valuable connections for our youth," she stated.

Importance of Accessibility

The funds raised from the Blue Bubbly event will be crucial for enabling affordability in Club membership dues. The need for such financial assistance is pressing, as approximately 56% of the youth served by the BGCFC currently receive some level of aid.

BGCFC has long been recognized as a flagship youth development organization in Frederick County. Their mission focuses on helping young individuals, especially those in greater need, to reach their full potential and become responsible citizens. Crucially, BGCFC operates with an inclusive policy whereby no youth or family is turned away due to an inability to pay, with more than half of their members benefiting from scholarships.
