Dear Community Service Provider:

Thank you for your interest in applying for the enclosed Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound’s HOPE Center Project.  The purpose of this RFP is to select anchor tenants for our Donald G. Topping Regional HOPE Center in Tacoma.  Through this selection process we will identify building partners who share the vision of the HOPE Center as a safe, vibrant environment where people are supported to be healthy, knowledgeable, independent, productive, responsible, and caring citizens.”

The mission of the HOPE Center is to unite the community and improve the quality of life through the provision of services, education, and advocacy.  The Center provides opportunities for anchor tenants and other community partners to make use of common resources, share talents and spread the cost of complex technology.  Priority will be given to public and private organizations and programs which focus on serving youth and families with lower incomes.

The deadline for receipt of applications is April 8, 2010.  Final decisions regarding anchor tenants for the HOPE Center opening for operation in the Fall of 2010 will be announced by July 1, 2010. 

Thank you for your commitment and services to our community.  If you have any questions, please contact John Franich, at john@bg-clubs.com.  We look forward to receiving your proposal.


Sincerely,

Mark E. Starnes

President/CEO
