Boys & Girls Clubs of
America (BGCA) announced recently that Tommy Walls, a four-year member of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee (BGCGM), has been named the 2010–11 Midwest Region Youth of the Year. He received a $20,000 college scholarship from founding sponsor Reader’s Digest Foundation and Tupperware Brands, Corp.

Washington,
D.C., in September.
