Our Impact
Children’s Benefit League creates lasting impact by supporting five trusted Long Beach organizations serving medically vulnerable children and families: The Children’s Clinic, Children’s Dental Health Clinic, John Tracy Center, AbilityFirst, and The Guidance Center. Through fundraising, in-kind contributions, and community partnership, we help strengthen access to essential care, expand opportunity, and support long-term well-being. We believe every child deserves a healthy start in life, and we are proud to stand alongside these valued partners as they continue to provide high-quality services to the children and families who need them most. Every act of generosity helps turn compassion into meaningful community impact
John Tracy Center
John Tracy Center was founded in 1943 by Louise Treadwell Tracy after she witnessed the limited services, technology, and education available for children like her son, John. Today, JTC provides parent-centered services locally and globally to children with hearing loss, offering families hope, guidance, and encouragement. CBL has been supporting JTC since 1965.
AbilityFirst
AbilityFirst provides a variety of programs designed to help people with disabilities achieve their personal best throughout their lives. Their mission is to look beyond disabilities, focus on capabilities and expand possibilities. CBL has been supporting AbilityFirst both monetarily and in-kind since 1990.
