“We invite you to join us in an evening of celebration and transformation by participating in our 11th annual signature event, An Evening of Changing Lives, in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego, which has served as a cornerstone for San Diego’s youth for over 80 years. Through the power of education, mentorship, and opportunity, our tailored programs and services enable over 22,366 children to discover their talents, imagine their futures, and pursue a life of confidence and happiness. An Evening of Changing Lives is more than just an event; it is a celebration of community, compassion, and the power of collective action. By sponsoring the event, purchasing a table, placing an ad, or making a direct donation, you can help ensure that every child has access to the same opportunities to flourish and thrive. If you’ve been a supporter of An Evening of Changing Lives in the past, please consider upgrading your level of support this year.
