In an attempt to still make the graduation season special for the class of 2020, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta will honor graduates in a virtual event.

"We're asking family, friends, mentors, and supporters of all kind to SHOW UP virtually for our amazing teens! Help us Celebrate and Congratulate the BGCMA Graduating Class of 2020 on all of their many accomplishments and hard work," the Boys & Girls Club wrote on its website.

The BGCMA Virtual Senior Breakthrough event will include scholarship announcements and awards, as well as a chance to hear from seniors, parents and staff.

The 30-minute event will honor 100 teens in metro Atlanta.

It will be live streamed for community members to join in on the celebration. More information can be found here.

Supporters can also donate to the Boys & Girls club through its website.
