One-Day BMW M School Driving Experience: A $1450.00 value!

Get ready to focus on the same skill sets that professional drivers work on every day. At the BMW M School, you’ll learn how to optimize the high performance BMW M cars’ attitude to the conditions and road at hand at the state-of-the-art BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina. You’ll become a smoother driver. And your reaction times will decrease. It’s the result of your skills becoming more in tune with the attributes of the car you’ll be driving. After all, power is nothing if you can’t handle it. We’ll hone in on finesse, quick reflexes and eye coordination through a variety of exercises on our slalom course, autocross and wet skid pad. With more horsepower and sharper chassis dynamics at your controls, you need to be at the top of your game.

About the BMW Performance Center: The BMW Performance Center, unveiled in 1999 in Spartanburg, South Carolina is perhaps the best place in the United States to celebrate the BMW spirit, dedication to quality, and commitment to performance. Home to the BMW Performance Driving School, the BMW Performance Center Delivery Program and a world-class conference center, BMW designed its Performance Center to expand the unique automotive experience into a memorable event. At one location, a visitor can tour a $1.6 billion state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, browse the Zentrum museum showcasing more than 75 years of BMW automotive and motorcycle history, host a successful corporate event, and enroll in one of several driving instruction programs.

*All participants must be 18 years of age and hold a valid U.S. driver’s license.

2013 BeneficiaryBoys & Girls Club of Mid-Michigan

Following in the footsteps of Steve Smith and his desire to give back to organizations that benefit children, Mateen Cleaves has chosen the Boys & Girls Club of Lansing as the recipient of $5,000 made possible by you - our golfers and sponsors.

The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing seeks to create hope, opportunity and foster civic engagement by inspiring and enabling all young people, especially those that need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing (BGCL) is an affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the national organization that has developed effective youth programs for over a century. The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing employs nine full-time staff, twelve dedicated part-time staff and hundreds of volunteers who ensure that Club members receive the most benefit from their time at the facility. Our low membership fee ($10 per child annually), along with the diversity of the activities the Club offers, attract a population of youth that many other youth- serving organizations cannot reach. The Boys & Girls Club is open when kids need us most, during the summer and after school, when they have too much free time and need a positive environment in which to learn and grow. We specifically target children who live in low-income neighborhoods and neighborhoods that lack youth development services. The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing is a dedicated youth facility and is open after school from 3:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The Club

is open during the summer Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Structured activities include: Power Hour, Project LEARN, Teen Supreme/ Keystone Club, SMART Moves, Junior Staff, Presidential Fitness, and GET City (Green Energy Technology). These programs promote youth development through educational & enrichment programs. They also foster positive relationships with caring adults (full-time staff, part-time staff, and community volunteers). The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing incorporates five core programs into its daily activities: character & leadership development, education & career development, health & life skills, arts & music, and sports & recreation.

Thank you to our sponsors & golfers for making this support of the

Boys & Girls Club of Lansing possible.
