Kelly Rowland to Help Make Over Downtown Boys & Girls Club

The Grammy-winning singer will be at the Salvation Army Bellwood Club on April 26.

ATLANTA, GA -- Atlanta-born Grammy Award winning singer Kelly Rowland is teaming up with Claritin and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, where she is a National Ambassador, to make over outdoor spaces at clubs in three communities, including the Salvation Army BGCA Bellwood Club in Atlanta.

As one of approximately 75 million Americans who have allergies, Rowland is very familiar with how seasonal allergy symptoms can make the Spring season difficult to cope with and keep people stuck inside. As a mom, she also realizes how important it is to spend time with family outdoors and relies on Claritin for powerful, 24-hour, non-drowsy relief during her allergy season.

“Spending time outdoors helps my family and me set aside everyday distractions and feel our best,” said Rowland. “I remember feeling as though I was trapped inside when the pollen count climbed. My worst symptoms were itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, but now, I reach for Claritin when I have allergy symptoms. Everyone should be able to enjoy spending time outdoors, regardless of if they have seasonal allergies. That’s why I’m so proud that in my second year working with Claritin, the brand is teaming up with an organization I’ve been working with for years and is so close to my heart, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, so members can more fully enjoy their play time outdoors.”
