PEORIA, Ill. – The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Peoria has announced plans to name their facility at 2703 W. Grinnell Street in honor of Lesley Matuszak, who served as the organization’s executive director for many years.
“Central Illinois recently lost a champion of the community and particularly the non-profit sector. Lesley transformed many young lives as she served as the Executive Director for the Boys and Girls Clubs for over 18 years,“ Board President Lee Graves said.
A newly designed expansion and renovation of the Boys and Girls Clubs’ Grinnell campus will feature a gym, classrooms, technology and a cafeteria.
Fundraising for the expansion project will kick off on Thursday, November 2nd, at the Boys and Girls Clubs’ Fill the Treasure Chest event at the Peoria Civic Center.
Donations from a memorial in Matuszak’s honor will be earmarked for the new building project.
