June Means it’s Poker Run Time
United Boys & Girls Clubs is excited to announce our summer event for our car enthusiasts, a Poker Run! Don’t worry, though. Our Rally 4 Kids will be back in April of 2022.
Rev your engine for this year’s goal to raise $120,000 during the Poker Run that will support the membership fee for an entire year for 100 youth at all seven locations. With your help, we can ensure no child is ever turned away and provide mentoring, sports clinics, and academic support to more youth throughout Santa Barbara County. While our services cost an average of $1,200 a year, our membership fees are only $40 per child annually. Your support is crucial to ensuring our fees remain affordable for families in need. With your support, we can continue to provide these opportunities.
Poker Run will be on Saturday, June 26, 2021. You can pay through credit card by using the link or by check. Go to https://ubgc.ejoinme.org/MyEvents/2021PokerRun/Registration to register and learn more.

Uniting Makes Us Stronger
“Having the word ‘United’ in their name is highly appropriate and deserving of United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County! The 11 clubs located throughout the county are quick to react to issues and support solutions affecting club members and their families.
Uniting is what has always made us stronger. United Boys & Girls Clubs teaches our children that uniting behind strong character, academic success and supporting each other in these goals results in a safe and healthy community.
I am a proud alumni of our local Boys & Girls Clubs!”
Ever More Efficient
Now truly united, the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara are bent on ensuring that every dollar given is spent directly on programs and the young people engaged in them.
To get there, they need your help, and as with their merger have a clear plan. The organization needs to build a $5 million endowment, which the annual earnings would underwrite the entire organizational administrative cost annually so that 100% of any donation made would go directly into program services.
