Mrs. Breed is loved by the Greenwich community, especially the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich because she has helped countless higher-education bound young people fulfill their dreams of attending and completing college. In addition to her Board commitments, Rebecca regularly volunteers in the Club’s Learning Center, helping children with homework and giving encouragement and guidance.

It is supporters like Rebecca who invest in these quality programs for Club members (a third of which live well below the poverty level as defined by HUD), without which, the Club would not be able to help children aim to BE GREAT and reach their full potential as productive, caring responsible citizens.
