NASHUA, N.H. – The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua’s 2025 Bids for Kids Holiday Auction brought the community together once again—not just to raise funds, but to celebrate the young people whose stories embody the mission of the Club

The night’s most powerful moments came directly from Club youth. Seven-year-old Yamiah opened the evening with confidence and joy, reminding attendees why the Club’s work matters. Later, Tiana Brown—2025 Club, State, and Regional Youth of the Year and a National finalist—shared how the Club shaped her journey from a shy young member to a collegiate track athlete and nursing student at Endicott College. Her message underscored what so many families know firsthand: when kids have a safe place, strong mentors, and consistent opportunities, they flourish.

“Our community showed up in a big way for our kids,” said Craig Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua. “Every bid, every sponsorship, and every act of generosity ensures we can keep opening doors for young people who count on this Club every day.”
