Recent Updates from the Field
A New Preschool and a New Hope
By JoAnn Arquillano - Capital Campaign Associate, November 05, 2009 10:04 AM
Hundreds of families in Huntington Beach are low income households with a single parent who works or a two parent home with both parents working. For these families, the expanded site on Golden West College's campus will give them the peace of mind they need and the quality care their children deserve.
A parent at the current preschool site writes, “I am grateful to the Boys and Girls Club of Huntington Valley for all the help they have given along the way. By opening their doors to us, they gave me and my daughter the opportunity to expand our minds and the ability to provide a roof over our heads and put food on the table.”
With the history-making site on Golden West College, we will be able to serve thousands of in-need families and give children a place to grow and learn. While parents have the confidence that their children are safe and well-taken care of, they can pursue their educational and career goals to give their families a new hope for their futures.
As the first phase of the project is dedicated to building the new preschool site, help from donors like you can directly affect what we can provide these little tykes as they grow and learn within the Club's safe and caring walls.
Check out the newly updated photos in the photo gallery and see how children at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley are enjoying their experiences at our preschools right now.

Thanks to all of you who donated to our project and helped us reach our goal on the GlobalGiving Open Access Online Challenge! Because of your support, we were able to raise $4,555 from 53 individual donors, and gained a permanent spot on the GlobalGiving website!
Of course, this success doesn't mark the end of our journey - we still need you! Since we've got over $20,000 to raise to meet our funding goal we need your help to spread the word! So be sure to share our cause on Facebook, send an email to all your contacts, or send out some info on Twitter and get the word out there!
It doesn't take much for someone to provide our future preschool classrooms with toys or costumes or science kits. A small sacrifice from us now will become a big gift for children for years to come. With a little help from everyone we can make this dream of California's 1st Boys & Girls Club on a college campus a reality!
Thanks again for all your support! And be sure to leave us a comment, we would love to hear from you!
