Bianca's Story 

Growing up as 1 of 12 children in a one-bedroom apartment, I learned early on that if I wanted to build a better life for myself, I would need an education. 

I knew the road to college would be especially challenging for a girl like me. So when I learned about the College Bound Program at the Boys & Girls Club of the South Coast Area, I applied immediately. This Club became my second home, and the staff and other students became like family. I now had an incredible support system to help me succeed in school, find the right college, and even figure out how to pay for it. This life-changing program wouldn’t exist without support from donors like you.  

­­Your donation today will give thousands of kids in our community, like me, the support and tools they need to reach their potential, in college and beyond. Thank you for believing in us!

Gratefully,

Bianca Medina, age 17
