Champions for Youth
The Century Club believes that through the giving of our time, treasure, and talent we can make a lasting impact in San Diego.
We focus on supporting the long-term viability and stability of our community partners to enable them to address critical issues that affect us all, particularly in those youth most at-risk to live in poverty, experience homelessness, face food insecurities, or spend time in the foster care system.
We do this through Champions for Youth (CFY). In this program we partner with selected nonprofits for five years. This commitment of multi-year support allows us to spend ample time collaborating to strengthen our nonprofit partners’ infrastructure and business practices. The program includes a fundraising campaign where organizations receive all the elements like donation software, strategy assistance, and a marketing toolkit to generate unrestricted dollars, meaning the nonprofits can use these funds where it is most needed.
How We Support
Every year, Champions for Youth partners receive:
- Capacity-building resources
- Campaign strategy development
- Access to donation software
- Coverage of all credit card fees
- Partial match of funds raised
- Volunteer support
- Marketing toolkit
- Access to unique tournament experiences
