    DeBaun is excited to be part of the Hills community and share her performance and outreach experience through several new programs planned for Canyon Hills.

In addition to stories, this fun after-school program includes wacky puppet shows and fun songs.

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Young Adult Council at Canyon Hills is assisting with the event and will accept poetry submissions through April 30 for a chance to win a special gift card prize.

    Fundraiser aces helping youth organization

    A record-breaking sum of more than $180,000 was raised during the recent Ace of Clubs Casino Night hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Anaheim-Cypress at The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon in Anaheim.

    Mayor of Anaheim Ashleigh Aitken was the event’s honorary chair, with Henry DiCarlo of KTLA Channel 5 serving as the evening’s celebrity emcee.

    Festivities included a delicious dinner, exciting live and silent auctions, casino games, live entertainment. Anaheim Police Chief Jorge Cisneros and Cypress Police Chief Mark Lauderback took their turn on the stage for a “friendly competition” participating in the “Fund A Need Paddle Raise” part of the evening’s program.

    One of the evening’s special highlights was a surprise presentation of the club’s JMAC Scholarship to Joecelyn Soria. In addition to the $2,500 scholarship, Soria is also the 2023 Youth of the Year Award Recipient for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Anaheim-Cypress.

    Funds raised from this year’s event will help support many of the club’s free and low-cost after-school and summer programs that foster academic achievement, health, build character and improve lives; while offering kids a safe environment. The Anaheim-Cypress Club is very active with more than 1,000 kids and teens daily participating in its programs.

    “This event was an extraordinary night, as we raised critical funds for the next generation of game changers, trailblazers and history makers,” said Anne Hertz-Mallari, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Anaheim-Cypress.
