We recently joined our friends and longtime partners at Ghirardelli Chocolate Company for the 23rd Annual Ghirardelli Golf Classic, held in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro. It was a beautiful day on the course as golfers came together to raise critical funds that help us open more doors of opportunity for local youth.
We are deeply grateful to Ghirardelli Chocolate Company and its President and CEO, Justin Reese, for hosting this incredible event and for their steadfast commitment to youth in our community. Their leadership and generosity continue to inspire us—and make a lasting difference for the thousands of young people we serve each year.
“At Ghirardelli, our purpose is simple — to make the world a bite better. And one of the best ways we do that is by investing in young people, right here in our community,” said Justin Reese, CEO of Ghirardelli Chocolate Company.
“Our partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro isn’t just a sponsorship; it’s a shared commitment. We both believe that when kids have a safe place to go, caring mentors, and opportunities to learn, everybody wins — families, schools, and local businesses alike.”
This year marks an incredible milestone for our organization: Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro has reached more than 6,000 Club members from transitional kindergarten through 12th grade. This surpasses last year’s total of 5,000 youth and reflects the growing reach and impact of our mission to create safe, enriching spaces for kids and teens to learn, grow, and lead.
None of this progress would be possible without the commitment of our partners, sponsors, and supporters who believe in the power of opportunity and community. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s event a success — and for standing alongside us in our shared mission to help youth reach their full potential.
We’re deeply thankful to the sponsors whose generosity made this event possible, including Presenting Sponsor Ghirardelli Chocolate Company; Sapphire Sponsor PSC; Diamond Sponsor State Roofing Company; Platinum Sponsors Creative Werks and Metro Supply Chain; Gold Sponsors APC One4All and Color Ad Inc.; Silver Sponsors Amazon Business and Fremont Bank; and Bronze Sponsors Jamestown LP, InterWest Insurance, NXTThing RPO, and Wells Fargo.
Your support helps young people gain the guidance, encouragement, and opportunities they deserve.
Together, we’re building great futures — one swing at a time.
