Join the Party! At the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County’s 48th Annual Children’s Ball
Join the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County for the 48th Annual Children's Ball, Saturday, March 29 at 6:00pm at the U.S. Grant Hotel. Guests will enjoy the ambiance of our cocktail lounge complete with combo, designer drinks, silent auction, three grand drawing prizes and the ever famous seafood buffet. In addition, admission includes: dinner, a live auction, dancing and an opportunity to meet some very special Club Members.
This special event honors Ron & Mary Alice Brady for their commitment to build The Brady Family Clubhouse & Teen Center and improving the lives of the children in La Mesa. "It's better to build kids than try to mend adults" is not only Mr. Brady's mantra, but has inspired the theme of this year's Children's Ball; Building a Better Future.
This event is sponsored by long-time BGCEC supporters and fiends Conrad Prebys and Debbie Turner, Sharp Grossmont Hospital and the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians.

This event enables the Clubs to meet the financial demands to provide programs and activities for the 3,000 plus children served annually at the organization's five club sites.
As a former Club member, San Diego business owner and BGCEC Board Member John Eppstein acknowledges and appreciates the impact the Clubs had on his life; " I grew up in each of the clubhouses in the East County. As a kid, the Clubs gave me a place to go where everyone that worked there was a positive role model and taught me many of the values I have today. As an adult I am so fortunate to give back to the Clubs, with my personal experience I can honestly say that the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County make's a huge impact on the lives of the kids they serve."
