Thank You for Attending the 34th Annual Donald K. Facciano Kids Auction and Gala!

We are so grateful for your support and participation in making this year’s gala a success. Together, we celebrated 70 years of life-changing work by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme and raised over $542,000 to empower the next generation of leaders and innovators in our community.

Your generosity ensures that 100% of the funds raised will directly support the vital programs that help our youth reach their fullest potential, from education and leadership development to arts, health, and recreation.

Thank you for joining us in creating brighter futures, and we look forward to celebrating with you again next year!
