Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County<br />

Welcomes New CEO<br />

Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County names Carly Bennett-Valle as<br />

their incoming CEO on Wednesday, May<br />

26th. The announcement comes as the<br />

organization re-opens its Murrieta Clubhouse<br />

for Summer Day Camp program<br />

and plans to re-open its Lakeland Village<br />

Clubhouse in Lake Elsinore on August<br />

11th for its Back-to-School Program,<br />

serving youth, ages 6-17, in Southwest<br />

Riverside County.<br />

“We are thrilled to have Carly leading<br />

the way as we transition into a new<br />

chapter, increasing our services to meet<br />

the demands of the growing southwest<br />

Riverside corridor,” said Kimberly Freize<br />

Uhler, Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County’s chairwoman of the board.<br />

“Carly has been with the Boys &<br />

Girls Club of Southwest County since<br />

2015 and has over 17 years of non-profit<br />

experience bringing a unique perspective<br />

to the organization. Now more than ever,<br />

we need to support the youth and families<br />

in our communities. As a board, we are<br />

confident Carly is the right person to advance<br />

our efforts and positively impact<br />

the lives of local youth in Lake Elsinore,<br />

Murrieta, and Temecula,” Freize Uhler<br />

said.<br />

The Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County expects to serve over 1,089 youth<br />

this year at three locations, including<br />

Temecula, Murrieta, and Lake Elsinore.<br />

The organization continues to grow as<br />

the need for services increases year over<br />

year.<br />

Bennett-Valle began working with<br />

the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County as a part-time bookkeeper in<br />

November 2015, and even though she<br />

has always served in a financial role at<br />

the organization, she has also worked<br />

in various other capacities including<br />

development, special events, facilities,<br />

operations, transportation, and information<br />

technology.<br />

“I am so excited for this next chapter<br />

with the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County,” said Bennett-Valle.<br />

“We have had a tough year, like<br />

many companies and individuals, but<br />

we are fortunate to have the support of<br />

amazing donors and communities that<br />

enabled us to succeed and continue<br />

serving the families and children who<br />

need us. This organization is near and<br />

dear to my heart, and I look forward to<br />

this opportunity to continue growing and<br />

developing it. I can’t wait for all the great<br />

things to come, and I am honored to be a<br />

part of this extraordinary organization,”<br />

Bennett-Valle said.<br />

Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County has served the youth in our community<br />

for over 30 years. The mission<br />

of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />

County is to inspire, enable and support<br />

all youth to realize their full potential and<br />

successful, responsible, and impactful<br />

members of the community. A locally<br />

governed and funded 501(c) 3 organization,<br />

the Club provides programs for<br />

more than 1,089 youth, ages 6-17, helping<br />

and Healthy Lifestyles.<br />
