Leave a Lasting Legacy of Hope and Opportunity

For 30 years, the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley has been a cornerstone of our community. Over the past three decades, we have served more than 50,000 youth, providing a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship and living a healthy lifestyle. That’s 10,957 days of inspiring youth to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

Now, you can play a pivotal role in securing the future of our mission by making a Legacy Gift (Charitable Bequest).

A legacy gift is one of the most meaningful ways to give back. It reflects your values and your belief in creating a brighter tomorrow for children who need it most. By including the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley in your will or estate plan, you ensure that your generosity lives on—supporting programs and opportunities for generations to come.
