Frederick – October 13, 2026 -- Aligned Data Centers has become Co-Presenting Sponsor of the 2nd annual Blue & Bubbly dinner, a fundraiser for Boys & Girls Clubs of Frederick County (BGCFC), where about 56% of youth served receive financial aid toward membership dues.
Aligned backs the 2nd annual Blue & Bubbly event at 7th Sister Restaurant
BGCFC announced the partnership. The event is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at 7th Sister Restaurant. Proceeds will help keep Club programs affordable for youth and families across Frederick County.
Affordability drives the funding need, with more than half of members on aid
About 56% of youth served by the Club receive some level of financial aid toward dues. BGCFC says no child or family is turned away for inability to pay, and more than half of the youth served annually receive partial or full scholarships. Corporate sponsorships such as Aligned's therefore feed directly into the Club's ability to keep that policy in place.
Executives from both organizations frame the deal as a local investment
BGCFC CEO Timika Thrasher said the mission depends on community supporters and corporate sponsors willing to invest in youth futures. Joanna Soucy, EVP of Brand Strategy at Aligned Data Centers, said "there is no better investment than our local youth."
The release does not disclose the value of Aligned's contribution or fundraising targets for the event.
