How'd the Boys & Girls Club of Trenton turn itself around? Ask the big kid in the black suit. | NJ.com: When Breidinger arrived on the board in the mid-1990s, the club’s leadership was holding weekly meetings just to figure out how to pay its bills. The power company was threatening to shut off its electricity. Membership was dwindling, with only a few hundred kids. The building needed an upgrade. There were no funds to recruit children or add new programs. And this was happening during an economic boom.

Breidinger, then newly installed as the head of Comcast Cable’s operations in Mercer County and a member of the Rotary Club, was part of a group of Rotarians looking for something in the city to throw its efforts behind.
