A Message From the CEO
Following a 30-year career in the banking industry, one of the most rewarding transitions in my life has been coming to the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs to lead our inspiring team – who are all dedicated to making a lifelong impact in the lives of the boys and girls we serve.
I’m proud of the way we infuse the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion into a welcoming, safe place where children and teens are able to come each day after school to learn from and bond with mentors who become positive role models.
It takes a village, and we’re so pleased to have such an uplifting network of donors, board of directors, community leaders, volunteers and ambassadors who believe in our mission. Thank you to every individual and business that has supported our pivotal efforts to help these young people have bright futures.
With gratitude,
Margaret Keung,
