About This Item

New York., 1/20/58. 7.5 x 10.5 Arena Bond Paper Rag Content by Ailing & Cory Co. Rochester, NY (1819-1999). Signed by Herbert Hoover in blue ink. Fine. "Dear Mrs. Laserte: I greatly dislike writing begging letters but I am as convinced of the great importance of the Boys' Clubs of America that I violate my rule in asking your consideration of a contribution among the many other calls upon you at this time. In this work there are 500 boys' Clubs with more thatn 425,000 boy members in the slum areas of 290 cities throughout the country where we definitely are reducing delinquency, improving health, morals and preparing them for the skilled trades. The are some 3,000,000 such boys and the country is in great need of expansion of this movement. We do no ask for much from any one individual and most gifts are from $10.00 to $25.00. They are, of course, tax deductible. I send you herewith a leaflet which explains the work. I hope it commends itself to you. Faithfully Herbert Hoover. P.S. Checks should be made payable to Boys' Clubs of America." Hoover was elected chairman of the board of BCA (founded in 1860) in 1936 and became a life long advocate, including doing the task of fundraising. Their name was changed in 1990 to include girls, BGCA..
