Charities

Connecting with kids In addition to hosting great events for the kids of our community, Active 20-30 donates on average over $85,000 each year to local philanthropies. Our goal with these groups, as with everything we do, is to help them help the children of our community. Active 20-30 has built several playgrounds in the county, including major sponsorship of the Southside Park Accessible Playground, funded art programs for inner-city schools, supported immunization programs and has contributed to many, many more organizations throughout our long history as a service organization.

To see exactly where the money goes, download the Active 20-30 Club No.1 of Sacramento History of Benevolent Giving 1990-2005. (Exact amounts from 1922-1989 not currently available.)
