Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson is excited to announce our recent partnership with Raymond James! Starting in January, Raymond James is providing dedicated funding and year‑round volunteer engagements with BGCC as part of their Ready for School expansion, helping youth achieve their goals inside the classroom, outside the classroom, and beyond.
As the exclusive Presenting Partner of Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Youth of the Year, Raymond James is elevating youth voices and celebrating outstanding teen leaders nationwide. Ready for School scales proven programs and invests in curriculum innovation so every student can reach their full potential.
On January 28th, Andy Waldbaum, the Senior VP of Investments at Raymond James Beverly Hills, participated as one of five judges at Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson’s 2026 Youth of the Year event. At the reception he additionally served as one of our program speakers and shared his unique experience of the judging process. We also had the pleasure of having eight Raymond James employees as Youth of the Year guests.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson warmly welcomes the Raymond James team into our corporate partnership program and extends our appreciation for their generous support.
