What People are Saying

“If it weren’t for the support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, I’m scared to think of where we’d be today. So thank you, thank you, thank you so very much, the difference you’ve made in my family’s life has been profound and I will forever be grateful! When I think about the impact you’ve had on just my one family and how we are just a drop in the bucket of all the desperate families you are helping, well … it’s very humbling, to say the least.”
