INVEST IN A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL OF US!
Leave A Legacy To Boys & Girls Clubs of East County

The Boys & Girls Clubs of East County has been serving thousands of area youth for over 46 years. While the organization has changed and grown over the years, the goal is still to provide THE Positive Place For Kids. Alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs have warm, wonderful memories of their experiences and lasting results of the impact their memberships had on their lives. What about future generations? What legacy will we leave for them?

It's up to us to make a difference in the future of our community and in the lives of boys and girls throughout the San Diego's East County by making sure that there is always a Boys & Girls Club around the corner for every child who needs a welcoming, caring, safe place to go.

The following are ways you can "Leave a Legacy" through Planned Giving:

• Prepare a will.
  Surprisingly, less than 50% of people have a will. Without one, you lose control over what happens to your assets at your passing.
  
  
• Leave a gift in your will for Boys & Girls Clubs of East County Foundation.
  
  
• Give various assets in place of a cash donation.
  Gifts such as stocks, bonds, real estate, art and jewelry are of considerable value to organizations such as BGCEC Foundation and may provide tax savings for you now.
  
  
• Make Boys & Girls Clubs of East County Foundation the beneficiary of your pension plan or IRA. Avoid possible income and estate taxes after your death, or that of your beneficiary.
