Generous Gift from Club Alum Powers 2024 Basketball Season

Former Club Kid and Righetti High athletics hall of fame inductee John Thomas visited the Railroad Clubhouse in Santa Maria to present a generous sponsorship of the Club’s upcoming 2024 basketball season. On behalf of his business, Western Village Health Club, John contributed $12,000 to help ensure local athletics and basketball continue to thrive in the Santa Maria Valley.

Mr. Thomas, reflecting on the impact of the Club and its basketball leagues on his life, expressed his commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders and athletes.
