Mission: Accomplished – 2024 Blue Door Bash

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson extends its deepest gratitude to the generous sponsors and supporters of the 2024 Blue Door Bash – Mission: Possible! This year’s gala, held on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at SoFi Stadium, raised a remarkable $681,000 to help build GREAT FUTURES for youth across the greater South Bay. The evening featured inspiring moments, including a captivating Step and Drum Line performance by our Club at King Drew High School, exciting silent and live auction items that kept the energy high and the bids soaring, and heartfelt student speeches that brought the crowd to its feet.

This year’s gala also honored key partners who have gone above and beyond the call to action. We were proud to recognize Beyond the Bell as our Community Champion for Youth, Paula Kendrick as our Individual Champion for Youth, and induct Carson Companies into the BGCC Hall of Fame.

A standout moment came after Stand Up 4 Kids, which provided everyone in the room the opportunity to give at a level meaningful to them, when Marathon Petroleum’s Los Angeles Refinery announced a remarkable $150,000 gift to support BGCC’s STEM and Workforce Development programming.

“The Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson plays a pivotal role in offering programs that help young people thrive,” said Luis Martinez, Environmental, Safety, and Security Manager at Marathon. “Our commitment to supporting this important organization stems from the belief that a community’s success is directly linked to the ability of its youth to realize their full potential.”

We are beyond grateful to everyone who attended this year’s gala, ready to unlock the limitless potential of our BGCC youth.
