Create a Lasting Impact

Thank you for considering Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego (BGCSGD) as a partner in your estate plan through the Kid for Life program. By making the decision to include BGCGSD in your long-term financial planning, you are taking a proactive step towards creating a lasting impact on the lives of youth in the San Diego community.

I decided to become a Kid for Life because I believe there is nothing more important than helping the youth of San Diego. Ensuring that the children in our community have a safe space to learn and grow will impact our entire community for generations to come. By making the commitment of becoming a Kid for Life, we are not only directly supporting the children in the Boys & Girls Clubs, but also creating a better future for all of San Diego.
