The most common factor that hinders those in need from reaching our services, is transportation. “So many kids in Macon could benefit from the programs we offer at our clubs. Phillip sees how transportation limitations throughout Macon are a barrier to the services the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia provides. And thirdly, it helps close the transportation gap.” Secondly, it encourages physical activity, which contributes to one of our pillars of youth development: Healthy Lifestyles. More often than not, the bikes we give are the first bike one of our Club Kids has ever had. Firstly, it shows them that someone cares about them. “The beauty in being able to gift bicycles to our club kids is manifold. Thanks to the generosity of a committed donor who is an avid cyclist, each Christmas BGCCG has been able to provide between 50 and 70 bicycles to club members. With a passion for serving youth, particularly those who may be in need of some resources, Phillip has found a way to share his love of biking with the Club Kids. “One of the first things I noticed was the how the further out you go from the urban core, the fewer resources there seem to be.” With the organization’s club locations spread throughout the city, reaching from Shurling Drive to Bloomfield Road, Phillip became acquainted with the far reaches of Macon quickly. He's also an avid vintage comic collector who is one of a few people in the world to hold an original copy of the 1984 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 print.COWABUNGA!Ĭheck out his work on his website Contact Matt at Instagram Bryant first came to Macon in 2014 when he began his tenure as the President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia (BGCCG). When he's not on assignment, he's more than likely watching his favorite soccer team Arsenal FC, boxing, coaching soccer, reading, drinking hazelnut coffee, or listening to 80's music (and yes, he's a huge Hall and Oates fan). During his time there he shot local news and a little photography (he ended up sticking with the latter). Back in the day, he tried his hand in TV as a commercial TV producer and was promoted to a sports reporter. He holds a Bachelor's Degree from Mercer University in Human Services (he's a people person). Matt is an award-winning editorial portrait, commercial advertising, industrial, and sports photographer out of a southern town just a few minutes south of Atlanta called Macon.
