Strong showing at the Variety Boys & Girls Club’s first networking / fundraising event

Over 50 people and a dozen businesses represented at the Strand Smokehouse last Thursday to support the Variety Boys & Girls Club. It was the first event run by the ‘Young Professionals Committee‘ of the Boys & Girls Club; a committee that focuses on networking and giving back to a Club that serves over 3,000 families per year.

“Your support means everything to the families of our Club. Your donation supports our after-school program, basketball program, aquatics, STEM, art, and the many other programs that help our children grow,” said YPC Chair, John Sanchez.
