MALIBU BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.
Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids.

CHRISTOPHER’S HAVEN
Christopher's Haven, a home away from home for families whose children are undergoing cancer treatment
The Mission
Christopher’s Haven was founded to create and operate a home away from home for children being treated for cancer at the Mass General Hospital for Children and their families.
The Vision
Built on the model of the Ronald McDonald houses, Christopher’s Haven will provide a safe, hospitable and supportive environment for the young patients as well as their parents and siblings. Warm comfortable sitting rooms, game areas and reading spaces will provide a much-needed respite from the rigors and sterility of the hospital environment. Families will be able to stay for a nominal fee -- which will be waived for those unable to afford it.

SHARK FUND
The Shark Fund, a non-profit organization, was founded in 2003 by concerned parents and Malibu citizens who believed the continuing decline in proportional educational funding by the State of California would have a catastrophic impact on the quality of education at Malibu High School (Grades 6 – 12). The Shark Fund is the school's umbrella fundraising organization which seeks donations to support education, the arts, athletics, technology, and other extracurricular activities at Malibu High School.
