Sixth Annual Beach Walk

MORE THAN 300 participants strolled the Long Beach shoreline to raise funds and awareness for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Long Beach’s (BGCLB) “Healthy Lifestyles” program at its Sixth Annual Beach Walk, held Sunday, April 2, 2017. The event raised over $35,000 benefiting educational programs teaching healthy eating, active living, financial literacy, substance abuse prevention and positive decision-making to the 4,000 youth attending the after school clubs.  The non-competitive three mile walk was founded and sponsored by Dr. Grant Uba, who chaired the event along with his wife Debbie and fellow Board Member Barbie Barker.   Other major event sponsors included Farmers Insurance and Nestle.
