The Boys & Girls Clubs of Denton County offer fresh-cut Christmas Greenery for sale during their annual fundraiser and profits derived from the sales go to providing Christmas gifts for needy children and equipment for kids to use while at the Club.

"We are thrilled that Kelly Bires is supporting such a wonderful cause. With his help and the support of our local community we should exceed last year's goal and bring a smile to many kids and their families during this Christmas Holiday", Troutman said.
NASCAR Nationwide Series #47 Driver Kelly Bires will be arriving at approximately 5:00p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club located at 303 Alamo Avenue in Lake Dallas to support the Club's efforts and signing autographs.
