Club Facts: Why This Gala Matters

We’re proud to host this year’s Blue & White Gala to raise essential funds for the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Desert — and we need your help more than ever.

  • In the past year, the Club had over 34,000 youth visits, providing a safe, supportive space for hundreds of local kids.

  • We currently serve more than 100 youth each day during the school year with after-school care, meals, homework help, and enrichment activities.

  • Families pay just $20/month for access to our programs — a cost we subsidize through community support to ensure no child is turned away for financial reasons.

  • Federal funding that once supported our core operations has been slashed. We are now relying on this gala and our community to keep the Club open and thriving.

  • We’ve already taken steps to reduce administrative costs, cut staff hours, and streamline programs — but we can’t keep up without additional support.

  • The Club serves the entire Morongo Basin and neighboring desert communities.

  • This isn’t just a fundraiser — it’s a lifeline. Your support tonight helps ensure we can continue providing critical services to the youth and families who depend on us.
