The Boys & Girls Club of Alton will be collecting ties of all sizes and types, as we are launching a new program “Passport To Manhood” for young boys to help teach them to conduct themselves and dress like young men!

We are targeting ALL Boys ages 6-18. The young men will be taught how to tie a tie and will be encouraged to dress up by wearing their tie to school at least one day at week.
