Our Club Alumni are Faces Next Door and Faces in the News
Bill Cosby… Michael Jordan… Brad Pitt… President Clinton… Jackie Joyner-Kersee… Martin Sheen… Neil Diamond… Denzel Washington… J. A. Adande.
What do all of these people, and millions more throughout America, have in common? They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs. While many Club alumni have achieved particular distinction in fields such as entertainment, business, politics and sports, the average alumnus is not famous. Most have achieved success by getting an education, raising families, serving their country, pursuing careers and supporting their communities.
We are proud that many of our alumni remain involved with the organization in a variety of capacities. Some work here, others are volunteers, board members and supporters. That’s because the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica is itself a community – and a family. Each year, many of our alumni return for our Annual BBQ. You can read more about that here.
Below are profiles of some of the wonderful people who counted on the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica at some point in their life. If you’re an alumni and wish to get involved, please send an email to Jennifer Vides at jvides@smbgc.org. We’d love to have you come home.
