EVENT DESCRIPTION: On Friday, October 8th, the Boys & Girls Club of Venice hosted their 5th Champion of Youth Gala at the Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey. They honored Ben Howland with the Champion of Youth Award and Jaime and JoAnne Hepp with the Corporate Leadership Award. The Fifth Annual Champion of Youth Gala’s main purpose is to highlight the extraordinary programs and people associated with the Club, and to raise money to go towards sponsoring scholarships for club members, and enhancing core programs such as the arts, character and leadership development, sports, fitness and recreation, and education. The Club purposely keeps dues low, ($20 a year) so that all youth in the community have the opportunity to come through the doors, be safe, and develop into positive and productive citizens. The mission of the Boys and Girls Club is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The gala featured a silent and live auction with over 150 items ranging from trips to the Caribbean to a James Beach/Venice Paparazzi dinner package for twenty to autographed memorabilia from five-time NBA Champion Kobe Bryant For more information visit, http://www.bgcv.org.
