Mathews-Dickey established the city-wide Motivation Vocation Preparation Program (MVP), in September, 1991. MVP deters gang activity by encouraging youth to become active in extracurricular, structured activities promoting self-esteem, goal development and achievement. Anheuser-Busch Companies and Emerson provided initial funding for the program. The MVP Program is sponsored by Furniture Brands International, Inc. (formerly known as INTERCO INCORPORATED). In 2001, the Mathews-Dickey Boys` Club became the Mathews-Dickey Boys` & Girls` Club. To commemorate the historic occasion, a Girls` Program Millennial Fund-raising Campaign was launched to generate $1.5 million in funding to secure the program`s future for generations of young women to come. Today, the Mathews-Dickey Boys` & Girls` Club is overseen by a team of loyal consultants and board members. The day-to-day operations are provided by a small, dedicated professional staff.
