The Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena (BGCP or the Club) is currently celebrating its 85th Anniversary. The year-long commemoration has honored the Club’s legacy serving Pasadena children and youth since 1937.
By News Desk
Celebrations included an 85th Community Birthday Party, a special Black Tie & Burgers gala held at the Club’s N. Fair Oaks Avenue Clubhouse, various activities for both members and staff to participate in, and the launch of the Club’s 85 for 85 Alumni and Friends campaign, where BGCP is looking for 85 alumni and friends to donate $85 each, in honor of the anniversary.
For the past 85 years, the Club has enriched the lives of young people in our community, enabling them to reach their full potential as productive, caring, healthy, and responsible citizens. Serving more than 2,000 youth, ages 6 – 18 annually, BGCP programs focus on Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character and Leadership. The Club experience fills the gap between school and home – year-round – providing a welcoming, safe, and positive environment in which kids and teens have fun, participate in life-changing programs, make friends and find encouragement with caring adults. The Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena operates two main Clubhouse locations in Pasadena: Slavik Branch on E. Del Mar Blvd., and Mackenzie-Scott Branch on N. Fair Oaks Avenue; and two school-site Clubhouses on the Odyssey Charter Schools campuses in Altadena.
