Lt. Gov. Austin Davis Visits Boys & Girls Club of Allentown to Celebrate Bipartisan State Budget Win for Millions in Afterschool Funding

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis grew up going to a Boys & Girls Club in his hometown of McKeesport, and today he visited the Boys & Girls Club of Allentown to celebrate a major victory in the bipartisan state budget - funding for afterschool programs that will help keep communities safe and give Pennsylvania kids more opportunities.

"The experiences I had at the Boys & Girls Club shaped me and helped put me on the path to becoming Lieutenant Governor," said Lt. Gov. Davis, who leads the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD). "That's why we fought so hard to ensure the Shapiro-Davis budget included funding for afterschool programs, and we were incredibly proud to work with our partners in the legislature on both sides of the aisle, including Senator Lynda Schlegel Culver, Representative Mike Schlossberg and Representative Elizabeth Fiedler, to make this happen."

Speakers Include:
Katarah Jordan, CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Allentown
Lt. Governor Austin Davis
Matt Tuerk, Mayor of Allentown
State Senator Nick Miller
State Representative Mike Schlossberg
State Representative Elizabeth Fiedler
State Representative Josh Siegel
Emily Pratts, Club Kid, Boys & Girls Club of Allentown
