Casino Fiesta is a beloved and engaging event that serves as a crucial fundraiser for all of the youth center programs we offer. From afterschool care to seasonal camps, music academy to tutoring, leadership academy to youth mental health groups, and our vital scholarship program, these initiatives provide essential support for our community's youth. This esteemed occasion will feature an enticing raffle with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting the children we serve.

With approximately 200 guests in attendance each year, we are continuously humbled by the overwhelming positive feedback received regarding the valuable contributions made by the companies that unite to make this event possible. Your support at Casino Fiesta directly impacts the lives of many families who rely on our services, and we are immensely grateful for your generosity and dedication to our cause.

The Youth Center serves more than 3,000 young people ages 5-18 annually. We are located in Los Alamitos and reach children and teens in our home community, as well as the surrounding communities of Rossmoor, Cypress, Seal Beach, Garden Grove, and Long Beach. While community-wide poverty is low in this region, the families we serve disproportionately live in very challenging economic conditions and depend on the Youth Center for safe, stable childcare and enrichment. We promote children’s development, narrow socioeconomic, racial and ethnic inequalities, and facilitate parental employment and family self-sufficiency.

“Last year we moved to Los Alamitos after being relocated because of domestic violence and child abuse. I was a stay-at-home mom for over 10 years back to working immediately to support my children and then the pandemic hit and all jobs for education stopped being available. My commitment to keeping us safe and in a great district has remained my main priority. This has left nothing for extracurricular activities. I have begun being able to substitute again and am applying for full time jobs. Because of the Youth Center, I am able to work and give my kids a fun summer and experiences they have never had before.” - Danyelle
