From Club Kid to Champion: The Legacy Behind the June Family Branch
Building GREAT futures takes more than high-quality programs — it takes visionary, service-minded leaders who believe deeply in what is possible for the next generation.
For Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Randy June is one of those leaders.
A longtime champion of our mission, Randy has spent more than a decade advocating for expanded access to high-quality youth development opportunities across Central Florida. His belief in the potential of the 15,500 youth and teens we serve each year helped turn a bold vision into reality. Today, that vision is coming to life in the June Family Branch, a new, state-of-the-art Club in Winter Garden that will significantly expand our ability to serve local families.
The June Family Branch will increase our service capacity more than sevenfold — ensuring that hundreds more youth and teens have access to a safe place, caring mentors, and life-changing opportunities during the hours they need it most.
Below, Randy shares his “why.”
“Winter Garden is growing — and with that growth comes both responsibility and opportunity to support our children and families.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida is currently building the June Family Branch, a state-of-the-art Club that will replace our existing facility and transform our ability to serve the community. Where the current Club can reach just 40 children each day, the new June Family Branch will serve more than 250 youth and teens, providing safe, structured, and high-quality programming during the most critical hours after school and throughout the summer.
This new Club will be far more than a larger building. It will be a place where young people develop confidence, character, and the skills required for long-term success.
Building this state-of-the-art Club has long been my dream and, for me, this project is deeply personal.
I was once a Club kid myself. Growing up as a member in Pine Hills, I experienced firsthand how the right environment, caring mentors, and high expectations can alter the trajectory of a young person’s life. That foundation shaped who I am today—and it is why helping build this Club has long been a personal aspiration.
I invite you to join me in rallying around the children of Winter Garden by investing in a place where potential is nurtured and futures are formed. As we like to say at the Club: We serve children, but we build adults.
Truly, I believe there’s no nobler calling than improving the life of a child in need. I hope you’ll join me in supporting our community’s children as we—quite literally—build great futures.”
We are deeply grateful for supporters like Randy June, who lead with heart and back their vision with action.
Because of his leadership — and the collective support of our community — the June Family Branch will open new doors of opportunity for youth and families in Winter Garden for generations to come.
If you are inspired by Randy’s story and the impact this Club will have, we invite you to be part of what comes next.
