The Variety Boys & Girls Club has been serving children in the Boyle Heights Community for 57 years. Founded in 1949 by Variety – The Children’s Charity of Southern California, the Boys & Girls Club now serves over 4,000 at-risk and primarily low-income children a year. The club provides daily programs such as: homework assistance, mentoring, computer lessons, literacy, arts & crafts, games and more. The Club is currently undergoing the “Changing Children’s Lives” Capital Campaign which will fund a massive renovation. Variety, Tent 25, has committed $3 million to this campaign and is very proud to say that the Club currently has a commitment of 57% of the funding. The target date for construction to begin is Fall 2007. |
