Community support lifts BOSS to record-breaking results — and shows what’s possible when we rise together.

We’re thrilled to share that BOSS raised $123,411 during this year’s Long Beach Gives fundraiser, finishing #1 among mid-sized nonprofits and top 3 overall across all participating organizations!

A huge thank you to everyone who gave, shared, and supported us—and to the Orange County Youth Sports Foundation and Greg & Jodi Perlman for their generous matching grants, which helped make this incredible success possible. Your belief in our mission fuels everything we do.

“The consistent support from everyday people—families, neighbors, alumni, and first-time donors—underscores that BOSS isn’t just a program, it’s a movement,” said Everett Glenn, Founder and CEO of BOSS. “When the public invests their own resources and energy, it should inspire corporations and foundations to match that commitment at scale. The future of our young people deserves nothing less.”

These results are more than milestones—they’re a reflection of growing momentum and trust in our work to inspire, equip, and empower Black, Latino, and under-resourced boys to lead with excellence.
