Our Embrace-A-Family program was established to provide additional support to Club Families from our sites at a time of year that can be difficult. Club families interested in participating provide a wish list for each family member and then are matched with a local sponsor. If you would like to spread some holiday cheer and sponsor a Club Family, please complete the Holiday Donor Registration Form linked below or scan the QR Code above.

Please contact Sierra Loredo, sierra@bgcvista.com, with any additional questions or concerns.
