17th Annual Gala: Live From the BGCV, It's Saturday Night!

Boys & Girls Clubs of Venice is proudly celebrating 55 years of serving the Venice community! We can proudly say that we have served over 3,500 members who have been affected by the pandemic in a myriad of ways. As we recognize all the success we've had this past year, we invite you to join us at BGCV's 17th Annual Gala, Live from BGCV, It's Saturday Night. Furthermore, we are happy to announce that we are honoring actor and BGCV Champion, Will Forte, for his commitment to the Club and his devotion to the youth we serve.

 This year's signature fundraising event will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2022, at the Jonathan Beach Club of Santa Monica. The event will have special performances by Club members, silent and live auctions, and more to be announced! Last year, we raised $500,000 in a single night, and this year, with your support, we hope to raise even more!

 For more information, please contact Kelsi Burgess, at [email protected].
