A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who donated, attended our events, and shared our page during Long Beach Gives.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised over $37,000- the most we have ever raised in our campaign history! 🥳💛

Every single dollar will go right back into the heart of Bixby Knolls. We’ll be using these funds to keep our streets clean, host the community events you know and love, and support our amazing small businesses.

Thank you for believing in our neighborhood and helping us make Bixby Knolls a place where everyone thrives. We couldn’t do this without you! 🙌

✨ DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT! ✨

Today, you have three chances to make your Long Beach Gives donation go twice as far! 💛 During these matching hours, your gift will be matched by some of our amazing community partners:

9 AM | $1,000 match by CSI Patrol Service
12 PM | $1,000 match by Paul & Susan Forman Family Trust
6 PM | $500 match by Great Officials / Cute Little Wedding Chapel

That means $10 can become $20, $50 can become $100, and your support goes even further toward helping BKCF fund arts & culture, community programs, Clean & Safe efforts, and support for our local businesses. 🙌
