Other live auction items are an autographed guitar from Garth Brooks, and 'N Sync tickets and autographed memorabilia, courtesy of Center Staging, Jan Parent and Johnny Caswell, and David Brooks. Proceeds from the auction fund nearly half the club's operating budget. Ventress said United Way provides 15-20 percent and various grants provide another 10 percent. The government and members dues only account for 1.5 percent. The club currently serves 1,400 children in the Santa Clarita Valley at the club's home facility in Newhall and its satellite facilities in Val Verde and Canyon Country.
Children pay one dollar a month to join the club.
On the horizon is the club's new Canyon Country facility. Ventress said current plans include six classrooms and the gym which will be used by the junior high school during the day. The facilities will then be used by the club after school and during school holidays. Three of the classrooms are going to be customized. The facility will also include the club recreation center where Ping-Pong , Foosball, video games, pool tables, snack area, kitchen, and lounge with a big screen television will be situated.
