"Ensuring today's youth have the encouragement and inspiration they need to pursue their dreams is at the core of our organization, and the Class of 2015 Alumni Hall of Fame inductees all showcase how a local Boys & Girls Club can be a critical element to ensuring a great future," Boys and Girls Clubs of America president and CEO Jim Clark said this week in a press release, according to With Spandex. "We are honored to have such exemplary inductees join the other prestigious members of the Boys & Girls Club of America Alumni Hall of Fame in its 25th year."

In his youth, Vince attended the Elizabeth City Boys & Girls Club, which helped raise him into the man he is today. Considering the amazing impact the organization has had on his life, McMahon has provided funds and worked with the Boys and Girls Clubs community for the majority of his life as a successful businessman.

"McMahon has become one of the most well-known pioneers in the entertainment industry, catapulting the WWE brand from a small, regional wrestling promotion to a global, family-friendly entertainment brand with television programming in 650 million homes in more than 175 countries and 35 languages," the press release stated, according to WWE.com. "Today, WWE is one of the most recognized brands in the world with nearly half a billion social media followers. McMahon continues to carry forward the experience he had at The Club by supporting numerous programs and partners to help make a positive impact in the lives of children and families around the world."
