One opportunity can make a lasting difference in the life of a child. One dream can give a sense of purpose for a lifetime. One voice can relay wisdom that resonates for generations. One Boys & Girls Club can give hope to an entire neighborhood. One person like you can help fulfill the dream of a brighter tomorrow for more children in our community.

At Boys & Girls Club of the Victor Valley, any gift—no matter how big or small—is immensely appreciated. This is the idea behind our It Just Takes One Campaign: It just takes One caring adult, One Boys & Girls Club, and One gift to forever impact the life of a child.

This campaign ensures that the doors to the Club remain open and accessible to all children and that the Clubs are able to continue to provide:

• A Safe Place for those who may be left alone after school or on the streets with no guidance. The Clubs are a safe place to play and a place safe enough where kids can be themselves.

• Life-Enhancing Programs that can open young minds. The Boys & Girls Clubs expose youth to new ideas and skills that prepare them for life. We teach the importance of character in all of our programs.

• A Relationship with Caring, Trained Adults. The availability of dependable, caring adults who are responsive to a child’s daily realities are critical to developing meaningful, often lifelong relationships, that enable children to reach their full potential.

Our goal is $25,000 this year. Will you be the one to make a difference in a childs life? The campaign runs from March 1st through May 30th. Donations to the It Just Takes One campaign may be given online or through the Boys & Girls Club of the Victor Valley, 17537 Montezuma St., P.O. Box 338, Adelanto, California 92301.

Special Thanks To A Very Special BGCVV Sponsor! As an indigenous community the origins and history of the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians connect us to the land and to all who share it. These connections have shaped our culture, traditions and present lives. Today our Serrano ancestral lands, which included much of the Inland Empire, are shared by many. Since ancient times we have expressed ourselves through a culture of giving. Through partnerships with charitable organizations like BGCVV, San Manuel has been able to answer the call of Yawa’ (Serrano for acting on one’s beliefs) to share resources with others.San Manuel’s charitable giving program supports organizations that provide services in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. BGCVV is proud to have the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians as a sponsor. Thank You!
