A Message FromOur Board Chairman and Club President


Thank You for Standing Up For the Kids!

Dear Heroes of Youth,

Welcome to our 8th Annual “Stand Up For Kids” Gala and Fundraiser.We are so thrilled thatyou could join us in this celebration of our Youth. In this letter we would like to highlight a few things thatwe have done with the funding received from the Gala and other fundraisers over the past year.

We now have gone from serving 1200 kids last year to serving over 1850 this year. WOW! Whilebusinesses have been downsizing we have substantially increased our members. You might say that yourinvestment in our Clubs has paid high dividends and we would say you are right! We have appliedyour donations wisely and the results will yield great kids and a better society.

Our Clubs are feeling growing pains due to the high demand for our quality programs and our reputationfor outstanding Staff and Volunteers. We are addressing these needs with a Capital Campaignand facility planning to accommodate the large number of additional kids we are now serving. Ournewest Club Chaparral in Calabasas is now providing after-school programs and serving over 220members in our new classroom building.

Now with the good news of the increase in our enrollment comes the challenge; our tuition onlycovers 40% of our cost and financial aid requests have increased due to job losses and more kids. Wehave stepped up our fundraising to meet the scholarship need and appreciate your help! Brent’s Deli,North Ranch Country Club, Dole Foods and our many sponsors have all partnered with us on majorfundraisers and programs and for this we are very thankful.

Our Board of Governors has continued to grow to 36 members to help us meet the needs of ourexpanding organization. Thomas Gurtner our Gala Chairman, Dennis Predmore our North RanchTennis Chairman, Marc Hernandez our Brent’s Deli Golf Chairman have all helped us greatly to raisefunds to enable us to serve the kids.

We know it works! We know it’s good! We know great futures start at the Clubs!

Enjoy the evening and thanks so much for your support!

“Emma” sat, head in hands, wondering why andhow others made such bad, life-altering choices.An older sister pregnant at 16. A young neighboragonizing over whether or not “to party.”Reflecting, she sighed with relief and pride, facingher big decision: which college to attend. “Emma”was a typical Boys & Girls Club member who foundherself and her potential.

The Boys & Girls Clubs in Ventura County offer kidspositive choices and empower them to live up totheir greatest potential. As kids spend time at theClubs learning and having fun, their parents canwork, confident that their kids are in a safe place.This positive ripple effect significantly impacts ourlocal economy.

It All Adds UpFor every dollar invested in the Boys & Girls Clubs inVentura County, $8 is reinvested in the community.

One Small Choice Can Make A BigEconomic Impact

Nearly 23,000 kids throughout Ventura Countyattend a Boys & Girls Club. Working parentschoose the Clubs because they’re safe, nurturingand provide cost-effective care for their kids. Clubmembers choose engaging, enriching activities thatimprove grades and build meaningful relationshipswith peers and adults.

A recent study found that being involved with aBoys & Girls Club teaches kids about positivechoices and creates an incredible economic rippleeffect for the community. The study* was authoredby Dr. Jamshid Damooei, co-director of the Centerfor Leadership and Values at California LutheranUniversity and chair of the department of

economics, finance and accounting, and AlidadDamooei, vice president of Damooei GlobalResearch. For the full report, visit one of theVentura County Boys & Girls Clubs’ websites.

97% of parents agree their kids are safe at theClub.

38% of parents credit the Club for helping themfocus at work, knowing they have safe child care.

Parents who reported they were able to maintaintheir jobs because their children attend the Clubsbring an additional $144,740,064 in earnings peryear to their families.2nd flap in on left:

Clutching A Diploma Instead Of A Beer

Education is a top priority at the Clubs. Theysupport students academically and with programsthat combat negative influences that detail studentsfrom graduating high school.

70% of Ventura County youth pass the high schoolexit exam.

97% of Club members pass the high school exit exam.

Based on data relating to educational attainmentand average annual earnings, Club kids’ combinedearnings per year will be $106,586 more each yearand $3,045,306 more over their lifetime, comparedto those who do not graduate from high school.


The Positive ChoiceBuilding a healthy economy and community

Holding A Basketball Instead Of A Baby

Through self-esteem and health classes, Club girlslearn how to say no to teen pregnancy and yes topositive activities that build self-confidence.

3% of teen girls in Ventura County give birth.

0% of Club members give birth.

That saves $308,448 in childbirth expenses and alifetime cost of $12,788,307.

Stealing Home Base Instead Of A Bicycle

The clubs are open during the peak juvenile crimehours of 3-7 p.m., giving kids the chance to choosehealthy activities over crime.

9.1% of youth in Ventura County are arrested.

4.7% of youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs arearrested.

That saves $21,384,000 in juvenile justice systemcosts each year.

Grabbing An Apple InsteadOf A Candy Bar

64% of Club parents agree their children nowmake better food and drink choices.

83% of Club parents say their child is moreinterested in physical exercise.

A sustained 10% body mass index reductionlowers the lifetime medical costs by $2,300 to$5,300 for a man; $2,200 to $5,200 for awoman. (Age and initial BMI affect the range.)“Children treated for obesity are roughly threetimes more expensive for the health care systemthan children of normal weight,” according to theWilliam J. Clinton Foundation.

The Boys & Girls Clubs In Ventura County
