STOCKTON – At its Board meeting on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors approved Supervisor Rickman’s proposal to provide $20,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tracy’s Sports Programs for their Summer Shootout Basketball Camp.

The Boys & Girls Club of Tracy is part of a nationwide network. Located in every state, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and U.S. military installations overseas, Boys & Girls Clubs are delivering proven programs to millions of young people every day. Boys & Girls Club of Tracy has been a cornerstone of the community since opening its doors in 1989. Serving approximately 2,500 youth annually, Boys & Girls Clubs of Tracy provides a safe, structured and positive environment for young people after school, during holidays and summer vacation. They offer many low-cost sports programs for youth and children with special needs in Tracy such as basketball, volleyball, and flag football leagues for girls and boys. These one-time funds will be used to support the Summer Shoot Out Basketball Camp.

“During the Pandemic, I was a strong supporter of the ‘Let Them Play’ initiative. Youth sports activities give direction and provide lessons in discipline, accountability, hope, and character-building experiences. These lessons and experiences play an important role in our children’s mental and physical health, improving their well-being and quality of life, which is a benefit for our communities as a whole,” said Robert Rickman, Fifth District Supervisor.

The Supervisorial District Funds were re-established by the Board of Supervisors in the 2023-2024 Adopted Budget, to afford each supervisor the opportunity to address district-specific unmet needs. Supervisorial district-funded projects are subject to existing County policy and business practice.
