Olin Corporation Adopts Ogg Boys & Girls Club Campus
Lake Jackson, TX — The Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County is proud to announce a dynamic partnership with Olin Corporation, which has officially adopted our Ogg Campus location for the 2025 summer program. This vital collaboration comes as the Club faces a significant funding shortfall due to the recent hold on its Out-of-School Time (OST) grant.
Olin Corporation’s generous $15,000 sponsorship ensures that over 100 youth, ages 4–13, will continue to benefit from life-changing summer services at the Ogg Campus. These include academic enrichment, daily meals, STEM learning, physical activity, and social-emotional support.
The Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County serves over 1,000 youth annually across five school districts, providing critical resources that foster academic success, healthy lifestyles, and good character and citizenship.

“This partnership with Olin couldn’t come at a more critical time,” said Amber Newman, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County. “With the OST grant on pause, we were facing the heartbreaking possibility of reducing services just as children need us most. Olin stepped up to be the silver lining, ensuring that kids in our community continue to have access to safe, engaging, and empowering summer experiences.”
As part of the partnership, Olin employees will participate in an Olin STEM Day, providing hands-on science activities and mentorship to the children—demonstrating Olin’s commitment to both innovation and community engagement.
Brazoria County currently faces a shortage of affordable and safe summer care options for over 2,000 youth. Without intervention, many children risk academic regression and exposure to unsafe environments. The Boys & Girls Club’s summer program directly addresses these challenges, offering a nurturing and empowering environment across Lake Jackson, Clute, Sweeny, Freeport, Pearland, and Angleton.
“Olin’s adoption of the Ogg site is more than a donation—it’s an investment in the future of our youth,” said Newman. “Together, we are giving children a space to grow, learn, and become leaders in their own right.”
