San Marcos, Calif. – June 6, 2022 – Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos received a $100,000 grant from The Conrad Prebys Foundation in support of the nonprofit youth development organization’s efforts to keep its programs and services accessible to all families.

“We are honored to receive a grant from The Conrad Prebys Foundation for the second consecutive year,” said Cathy Baur, President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos. “This continued support is so significant as the importance of access to safe, affordable out-of-school care becomes more and more apparent.”
