Walk Details
Last year, BGCLB Board Member, Dr. Grant Uba, had a conversation with a patient about how much he enjoyed the challenge of a long walk. That patient made him promise that the next time he planned a walk, that he would do it for charity. With that, the idea for his fundraising walk-a-thon for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach was born. Thus, on November 26, 2011, Dr. Uba embarked on a 50 mile walk from San Onofre to Long Beach, with a handful of friends and supporters joining him along the way. Not only was it a rewarding experience for him – but because of it, he was able to single-handedly raise $13,000 for the Clubs.
It was so much of a success, in fact, that the entire board has decided to participate and turn this one-time walk into an annual fundraising event for the Clubs!
