TAMPA (BLOOM) – Chief Marketing Officer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Suncoast and Tampa Bay, Cassandra Thomas, and Student, Johnnie Grant, join Gayle Guyardo , the host of the nationally syndicated health and wellness show Bloom to talk about the merge between the Boys and Girls Clubs of Suncoast and Tampa Bay.

Thomas explains that they found their practices were stronger together. With this merger, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Suncoast and Tampa Bay will now be serving over 30,000 students in three major counties, with 42 club sites.

Johnny has been with the Boys and Girls Clubs since kindergarten, allowing him to meet new people and experience new opportunities, teaching him leadership and communication skills.

Many services and programs offer a key number of focus areas, including academic success, health and emotional wellness, sports and recreation, work-force development, and character and leadership development. Thomas says a new name for this merger is in the works, so stay tuned.
