LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 3, 2026 - At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles, we recognize organizations whose leadership extends beyond philanthropy, partners who invest their time, talent, expertise, and resources to create measurable, lasting change in the lives of young people and the communities we serve. For these reasons, we are proud to recognize JPMorgan Chase as our 2026 DreamBuilders Gala Honoree. For many years, JPMorgan Chase has exemplified what it means to be a true community partner. Their investment has never been limited to financial support. Instead, they have built a comprehensive partnership that strengthens our organization from the inside out while creating meaningful opportunities for the youth and families we serve throughout Metro Los Angeles. Through the leadership of their executives, regional leadership team, local branch managers, and dedicated employees, JPMorgan Chase has embedded itself within our Club community, providing strategic guidance, volunteer leadership, mentorship, and hands-on engagement that have elevated our organizational capacity and expanded opportunities for thousands of young people. Their commitment to Board leadership and governance has helped strengthen Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles as an organization, ensuring we remain sustainable, innovative, and positioned for long-term impact.

LOS ANGELES, CA - AUGUST 7, 2025 - At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles, we’re dedicated to creating safe, empowering spaces where young people can reach their full potential. For the past seven years, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Chargers Impact Fund have helped bring that vision to life through literacy, mental wellness, and culturally relevant programs that meet youth where they are. Less than a year after announcing a $400,000 capital investment in 2018, the Chargers and the Spanos family unveiled a revitalized athletic field and teen center at our Watts/Willowbrook Club. In partnership with Bob's Discount Furniture , they reimagined key Club facilities into vibrant, youth-centered environments built for connection and belonging. Today, these spaces remain active, welcoming hubs, whether kids are racing through obstacle courses on the field or teens are unwinding, studying, and fostering community in a space they can truly call their own.
