Mario Lopez was at Westfield Culver City on Nov. 19 creating his celebrity Milkshake at Millions of Milkshakes and signing autographs and taking photos with the first 100 fans in line to raise funds and awareness for the Boys & Girls Club of Venice. A portion of Mario Lopez’ milkshake sales along with a donation of $2,500.00 from Westfield Culver City was presented to the Boys & Girls Club of Venice at the event.

As an alumni ambassador, Mario helps bring to light the major issues affecting today’s young people, including the importance of graduating from high school and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and the key role of community-based organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs playing a role in the positive development of children.

Also, teens from the Boys & Girls Club of Venice showcased a special theatrical performance entitled “Lighthouse” about the challenges that young people face in the world today.
