On July 24, we celebrated the topping off ceremony for the Boys & Girls Club of Lynn as the final piece of steel was placed in the upper-level gymnasium. 🏗️
Before it was lifted into place, the beam was covered with signatures from Club kids and staff, the design and construction teams, city and state officials, board members, and major donors — a fitting record of the many people who have helped bring this project to life after years of planning.
The signed beam will remain visible in the completed gymnasium, becoming a time capsule and a lasting reminder of the collaboration behind a project of this scale and importance.
