Brad Spahr's Story
I've been on the Governing Board of the Santa Clarita Vally Boys & Girls Club for about 14 years, including time served as President, Treasurer and VP for
Board Development. This year the Club is in a very difficult financial position. It will be the fourth year in a row that the Club's budget is smaller than
the year before. Although the professional staff has done a great job managing expenses we are looking at the real threat of closing down facilities or making major staff and program cut backs. The Club is an after school refuge for almost 3000 kids in our community. It offers programs that range from homework and academic tutoring to computer skills, robotics and physical fitness. We offer all this while assessing the kids only $36 per year. The Club is the only after school alternative to many single parent families in the SCV and cutting back on hours or closing facilities will have a major impact on the community. Please join me in supporting this important fund raising effort.
