Do you dream of making a transformational gift? The kind that creates a better future? A gift that leaves a lasting statement to the world about who you are and what you care about?
Consider making a gift through your will or trust.
EASY
All it takes is a simple addition to your existing documents. We can provide you sample language to give to your attorney.
CHANGEABLE
You can easily alter or revoke your gift down the road if needed.
FLEXIBLE
Give a specific asset or a percentage of your estate. Support a particular program or let your gift go where it’s needed most.
MEMORABLE
If there’s a special person you wish to honor, a gift through your will or trust makes a beautiful tribute gift.
TRANSFORMATIONAL
When you leave us a gift in your will or trust, you build our long-term financial strength and enable us to continue to help our community long into the future.
"I call it the ripple effect, where you touch someone's life and that someone winds up touching someone else's life, and you have no idea how large or profound the effect is that you’ve had on them. That’s what happens at the Boys & Girls Club, all the time. . . . We have actually donated money directly out of our retirement funds to the Boys & Girls Club, which is something I would recommend to those in our age bracket who are interested.”
– Dr. Sid Frank, Board Member

Hear What Our Donors Have to Say:
Ezra Ayers, Owner of John Ayers Tree Surgeons
Ezra Ayers was introduced to the Club through the Ivanhoe Sports Field project in early 2018. He donated his tree maintenance services then and has so graciously continued to do so ever since. Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sequoias recognizes the value of Ezra’s line of work and is immensely grateful for his generosity. In this video, Ezra describes how he first became involved with the Club and how the connections he’s made inspires him to continue to donate his services.
Chago Martin, Co-Owner of Cream of the Crop Ag Service
Santiago “Chago” Martin is a supporter of the Club in all facets. Not only has he supported the Club through his business, but he has also served the Club as a board member for the past three years. Additionally, his business helped realize the Ivanhoe Sports Field five years ago and still graciously maintains its landscaping to this day. Watch this video to hear Chago elaborate more on his experience as a donor, as well as how having the perspective of a parent motivates him to be a part of the Club.
Don Groppetti, Owner & President of The Groppetti Automotive Family
Don Groppetti is no stranger to the Boys & Girls Club. He and his wife Shelly became a part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sequoias Family in 2000—and before that, they were a part of the Boys & Girls Club in Santa Maria. The Groppetti’s have such a huge heart for the youth in our community and we are very grateful to have their involvement with our organization. Here, Groppetti tells us what he appreciates about our Clubs and why he has continued to give consistently for the past 22 years.
