44th Annual Youth of the Year Banquet

On February 4, 2012, SMBGC will celebrate the achievements and contributions of our Club’s extraordinary young people at our Annual Youth of the Year (YOY) Awards Banquet.  Read about last year’s banquet and nominees here and view pictures on Facebook.

The YOY program highlights the impact mentoring from a caring adult has on a young person’s life, celebrating the character, service orientation and leadership of our young people.  Often, these young people overcome huge personal obstacles –such as poverty, homelessness, neglect or abuse – to reach great personal, educational and professional achievements. Always, their stories are compelling.

This year, four young people have been nominated as the SMBGC Youth of the Year. The winner will be announced at the banquet, and will then be considered among other youths from L.A. county Boys & Girls Clubs to compete at the regional and national level of the BGCA Youth of the Year competition. We will recognize all of our nominees at the banquet, as well as other exceptional Club youth.

Making the YOY banquet truly special depends on the support of people like you. Learn about available sponsorship packages here or contact Jennifer Vides (310-361-8520 or jvides@smbgc.org). Your sponsorship dollars fund the SMBGC YOY Scholarship Program.

Building Great Futures – One Brick at a Time

For 67 years, SMBGC has helped youth reach their full potential by providing a supportive place for them to grow. Now you can leave your mark on the Club’s foundation by purchasing a brick with a personal message.

The new outdoor area at our Main branch gives our members a place to have fun outside and includes a playground structure, BBQ and picnic area, a garden and more. It also includes a brick walkway where you can commemorate your enduring involvement with the Club by purchasing a brick engraved with a message of your choice. Three sizes are available at a cost of $250, $500 and $1,000. The proceeds will support club programs.
