THE 24TH ANNUAL GREAT FUTURES FOR KIDS BREAKFAST
24th Annual Great Futures for Kids Breakfast
More than 200 community leaders, supporters, and advocates gathered at Heritage Square for the 24th Annual Great Futures for Kids Breakfast in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme.
The morning featured inspiring stories, community connection, and a shared commitment to ensuring local youth have access to safe spaces, caring mentors, and opportunities to reach their full potential. Guests heard from keynote speaker Cam F. Awesome, 2026 Youth of the Year Hitantiva Ramirez, Club family member Erika Lopez, and community leaders who highlighted the lasting impact of the Club on young people throughout our community.
The event also honored the legacy of Tony Volante, a beloved champion of the Boys & Girls Club who served on every Breakfast committee since the event's founding. In recognition of his extraordinary dedication, it was announced that beginning next year, the event will be renamed the Tony Volante Legacy for Youth Breakfast.
This special morning would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, volunteers, Breakfast Committee members, staff, and attendees. Together, we continue to invest in the next generation and ensure that Great Futures start here.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the 24th Annual Great Futures for Kids Breakfast a meaningful and memorable success.
