Here is a message from the Venice Boys and Girls Club!

Join us at our annual gala, Live from BGCV, It’s Saturday Night! as we celebrate 55 years of serving the Venice community!

This year’s event will be held at the Jonathan Club in Santa Monica on Saturday, September 17th and we will be honoring Will Forte for being an amazing advocate for our organization. Funds raised at this year’s gala will go towards providing more wrap-around services to all our Club members and their families. We have incredible plans to increase the mental health services and social-emotional learning opportunities to children and teens of all ages across all sites and provide comprehensive programming to everyone that needs it.

Our gala is sure to be a fun evening with Club member performances, moving tributes, a comical improv set with Club members as a tribute to Will Forte’s SNL past, a vibrant silent & live auction and more. As our most generous sponsor to date, your support has been crucial to past year’s successes, we are so grateful for your continued belief in our mission. We hope you can join us for a special evening in the sand and under the stars raising money to support the important work the Club is doing!
