Boys & Girls Club of Wilson County Community Spotlight: Thank You to Sammy B’s

The Boys & Girls Club of Wilson County would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Jim and Gina Stradley, owners of Sammy B’s, for their generous support during Giving Tuesday. Through their leadership and community spirit, all proceeds from the event went directly toward supporting the incoming Boys & Girls Club of Wilson County.

We are especially proud to share that Gina Stradley also serves as a member of our Advisory Board, helping guide the vision and growth of the Club right here in Wilson County. Her dedication to both her business and our community’s youth reflects the heart behind this mission.

Sammy B’s has long been a staple in Lebanon, known not only for great food but also for giving back and investing in local families. Their commitment to supporting youth and community growth makes a lasting difference.

Nirvana Candy Company Ribbon Cutting

We had a great time celebrating Nirvana Candy Company earlier this week with a special ribbon cutting in honor of their one-year anniversary on the Square in downtown Lebanon! 🍬✂️

This family-owned business has a truly sweet story. What began as Jackson’s dream of becoming a “candy cooker” at just five years old has grown into a successful business—starting online, expanding through local events and festivals, and now thriving in their very own storefront.

Congratulations to the Nirvana Candy Company team on one year in downtown Lebanon! We’re proud to celebrate your journey and continued success in our community.

Nirvana Candy Company is located at 108 S. Cumberland Street, Lebanon, TN 37087

Sara Perry Graduates from TCCE Institute

Congratulations to Sara Perry, Chamber Marketing & Communications, on graduating from TCCE (Tennessee Chamber of Commerce Executives) Institute, a two-year professional development program through the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry!

Sara was one of just 14 people in this year’s graduating class, making this achievement even more special. TCCE was created to enhance the professional growth and development of Chamber executives, staff, and volunteers across the State of Tennessee. The program focuses on strengthening leadership skills, elevating the impact and status of local Chambers both statewide and nationally, and fostering strong communication and collaboration among Chamber professionals across Tennessee.

Why Wilson County Needs a Boys & Girls Club

The Boys & Girls Club of Wilson County is more important than ever as our community grows, and our youth need supportive spaces to learn, play, and thrive. Lebanon’s Ward 2 is home to more than 5,200 residents, with a young median age of about 34 years, showing that many families and children live right here where the Club will serve.

Across Lebanon and Wilson County, nearly one in four residents is under 18, illustrating the need for programs that provide safe after-school environments, youth development opportunities, and mentorship.

The Boys & Girls Club will help fill gaps by offering structured activities, caring adults, and a place where all kids can reach their full potential. By investing in our youth today, we help ensure a stronger, healthier Wilson County tomorrow.
