8 Decades of Changing Lives in San Diego

Share

For 80 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego (BGCGSD) has been dedicated to creating a safe space for youth to learn, grow and harness the greatness they hold within. Through various programs, children ages 5-18 are inspired to lead healthy lifestyles, succeed academically and develop positive character. These values are instilled in youth throughout 19 community-based sites across San Diego County.

The organization invites you to Change Lives through their signature fundraising event, An Evening of Changing Lives. This special night brings together 700 Club donors and community members who provide crucial support. Their generous donations go directly toward programs and resources like cooking classes, STEM projects, and physical activities, allowing BGCGSD to impact over 8,000 youth positively.

An Evening of Changing Lives will occur on Saturday, September 10th, 2022, at the beautiful Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina Grand Ballroom. A silent and live auction will take place, featuring spectacular items like a classic 1960 Corvette and a private villa for 8 guests in Cabo San Lucas! Registered guests can bid on once-in-a-lifetime items in the silent auction up to two weeks before the event. The purchase of a ticket includes cocktails, a three-course dinner, and a live performance by the six-time Grammy-nominated vocal group, The Spinners. Dance and sing along to classics like “I’ll Be Around” and “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love.”
