About BGCV:  The Boys & Girls Club of Venice is one of over 4,300 Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide. The BGCV’s Mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Here is a message from the BGCV.   “Where do you imagine you will be on September 21st, 2017?   Picture this: The Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica with your toes in the sand during a beautiful Westside sunset over the Pacific Ocean, all in support of the Boys & Girls Club of Venice.

Sounds remarkable? It is!
