Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast (BGCMCC) has initiated its year-long 60th Anniversary Celebration, marking six decades of service to youth and families across the Mid Central Coast.
The celebration kicks off with a community Birthday Party, 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13 at the organization’s flagship clubhouse, 901 N. Railroad Ave., Santa Maria.
The party will bring together community members, alumni, supporters, elected officials, and business partners to celebrate the club’s legacy and look to its future.
Founded in 1966, Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast has grown from a single site into a cornerstone youth-serving organization, providing 10 safe, supportive Clubs across the Central Coast where young people can learn, grow, and thrive.
“Over the past 60 years, thousands of local youth have benefited from academic support, enrichment programs, leadership development, mental health understanding, and sports programs,” BGCMCC said.
The birthday party will feature an opportunity to tour the clubhouse, enjoy light refreshments, and honor the 2025 honorees for the Jeremiah Milbank Society awards and the Lifetime Giving Award.
“Sixty years represents not just longevity, but impact,” said Maria Fabula, CEO of BGCMCC. “This milestone honors the generations of young people whose lives have been shaped through the club, as well as the dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners who have made this work possible.
“We are excited to celebrate our past while launching forward into the next chapter of service.”
Throughout 2026, BGCMCC will host a series of commemorative events and alumni spotlights designed to highlight the organization’s role in strengthening youth and families across northern Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
