- 3. A key component of becoming a mission-driven organization is having the courage to take on big challenges. As leaders in the community, we have the responsibility to remain focused on what is best for kids. During my decade as CEO of our Club, I am constantly reminded of the passion and am so proud of our team of Mentor Professionals and Board of Directors who remain focused on our mission and committed to first class mentoring for the kids we serve. In recent months, we have been assessing the opportunity to expand into Orange and merge with the Boys Girls Club of the Harbor Area, which serves youth in Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach. We are excited and proud to announce that both boards have unanimously decided to align our Clubs, moving forward with a new shared mission and vision for our youth. In addition to the benefits and cost efficiencies we will see as a result of this merger, our regional footprint encompassing a large section of Orange County, will strengthen our ability to serve many more youth and reach those who currently do not have access to our programs. This monumental decision will impact lives for decades to come and will serve as one of our most important milestones in our shared history. As one of Orange Countys premier youth-focused nonprofits, we have the responsibility to ensure all youth have access to a first-class mentoring experience and have the support systems they need to succeed in a global economy. We take on this challenge not because it is easy, but because kids and families need and deserve the impact created in our Clubs. Taking on the responsibility of serving more youth in more cities across Orange County is not easy or convenient, we take on the obligation of serving more youth because every child in Orange County deserves access to a 21st Century Boys Girls Club and the first-class mentoring that changes lives. As a Champion for Youth, we ask you to please join us on the journey ahead as we expand our family and strengthen our Club to serve more youth. Thank you for making our kids a priority in your life and for investing in their future.

- 5. The Support At United Way, we know education is the cornerstone for a good life and the Boys Girls Club afterschool programs provide the reinforcement kids and their families need to reach their academic goals as well as their goals for the future. The Boys Girls Club positively affects long-term change in our community by ensuring that children and youth have the tools and access they need to succeed in school and life. Combining resources with thoughtful leadership, the Clubs will be able to increase their overall impact in the communities they serve and maximize the value they bring to neighborhoods. Boys Girls Clubs are a tremendous asset to the communities they serve and if they can create efficiencies and improve programming for kids, everyone wins. MaxL.Gardner ORANGECOUNTY UNITEDWAY The PIMCO Foundation is a huge believer in the Club in its mission, work, and impact. The Club empowers its youth to have a voice, helps youth and their families thrive, and ultimately builds stronger, more vibrant communities. The Club inspires and nurtures, and creates opportunities for youth in innovative ways that consistently reflect visionary leadership. Above all, the Club transforms youth and families, and the PIMCO Foundation is all in in terms of support. This merger, and nonprofit mergers in general, are so important for strengthening impact in the community. This particular strategic alliance between the Boys Girls Club of Santa Ana and the Boys Girls Club of the Harbor Area reflects growth and sustainability. The merger reflects the need for shared resources and combined capacity-building efforts; it reflects the intent to give the Clubs communities a better, more resilient experience overall.
