The Burleson Boys and Girls Club was established in 1960. In the early days, the BBGC met at various locations, including the Nola Dunn Campus Gym. The BBGC later entered into a partnership with a group from Fort Worth that was funded by the United Way. Funding provided by this group enabled the BBGC to aquire the land that our football field is located in 1978. The BBGC building was completed in 1980.
Unfortunately, a fire destroyed the building in the early 1980's. Although the building was insured, the money from the claim was recovered by the Fort Worth group that originally funded it. The BBGC purchased the land and the fire damaged building in 1985 from the Fort Worth group. Someday, the BBGC would like to rebuild the facilities and expand our ability to serve the children of Burleson.
Currently the BBGC offers football and cheerleading programs for the children of Burleson. All of our teams participate in the Homecoming Parade in October and create unique floats that the children ride on. Many kids also participate in the Fourth of July Parade.
The BBGC meets about once a month during the offseason at the Old Town Malt Shoppe on Ellison St. All the meeting dates will be displayed in the marquee on this website. If you would like more information about the BBGC, please feel free to contact a BBGC board member.
