Slinging Drinks for a Cause!!

This spring and summer our two guest bartending events were a huge success. Thanks so the efforts of our guest bartenders and members, our club was able to get enough funding to send over 20 kids to local camps this summer -and- outfit over 30 children in our public schools with the supplies they need to start the year off right.

We thank our guest bartenders, Barbara Mullaney, Vicky Bartko-Green and Jennifer Bartko-McConnell as well as Dennis Brooks and Mike Corr who raised over $2000 at the always wonderful Jetty Bar and Grill to help us meet our goal for school supplies this year.

We also thank Phyllis Katzen and Jean Vitalo Lisa for packing out Roc & Olive, who generously gave us the bar for the night and raised over $2800 towards our camp season fundraising this past spring!

LOCAL SUMMER CAMP FUNDRAISING IS IN FULL SWING!

Our club has a goal of sending 18 underserved children to city camps this summer. We are providing full day camp options to the Day Trippers Program and half day options to our Local Recreational Camps. Your Donation can help.

Why Summer Camps?

Working families often struggle to balance work and child care in the summer months. Children can be shuffled around as parents look for viable options. The cost of Summer Camps can make them an inaccessible option.

With our support these families can have the benefit of having a safe and consistent program all summer, while the children themselves get to interreact with friends, get outdoors, and learn new things, all while having a great time.

It is our belief that supporting children with the best opportunities for care and education lead

to life long success. It is why we put so much effort into getting our local kids into these kinds of programs.

The programs that KCLB will be supporting children with this summer:

City of Long Beach Recreation Camps Morning Sessions $625

City of Long Beach Recreation Camps Afternoon Sports Sessions $625
