In the world of community engagement and shared dreams, one special night stands out – Gala 2024. You’re invited to be a part of this magical event on February 24th at “The Castaway” in Burbank.

This remarkable journey began when JR, Immediate Past President of the Rotary Club of Beverly Hills and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of West San Gabriel Valley, secured an exclusive auction win from our previous gala. An evening at the religious community of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Los Angeles, California, was not just about a dinner, it was an opportunity for coexistence and the sharing of dreams.

JR and members of the Boys and Girls Club of West San Gabriel Valley embarked on a special visit to our Salesian community, and what followed was truly extraordinary. The tour revealed our community’s heart, from the serene chapel to the vibrant garden where we come together and the communal meeting space where crucial decisions are made. Plus, an added bonus – a guided tour of Salesian High School Bishop Mora’s impressive facilities by Father Jim Nieblas.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to JR and the Boys and Girls Club for making this evening unforgettable. Your presence adds a new chapter to the Salesian Family Youth Center’s journey, and your support means the world to us.

Moments like these underscore the incredible impact of community and shared dreams. They forge connections and create lasting memories.

As we look forward to Gala 2024, we invite you to join us on February 24th at “The Castaway” in Burbank. Let’s come together to make more memories, share dreams, and build a stronger community. It’s a night you won’t want to miss!
