Some Fridays stick with you.
May 29th was one of them.
Big Box Storage was at Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan in El Cajon as a Foursome Sponsor and Premium Tee Sponsor for the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County’s Golf Day 2026. It was a great day. More importantly, it was the right day to be part of.
Here’s the full story.
What Happened at Golf Day 2026
175 golfers showed up at the Oak Glen Course and spent the day doing something good.
The format was simple – a shotgun-start tournament with on-course activities, food, drinks, and a dinner and awards ceremony at the end. The event ran from 8am to 4pm. Singing Hills is a beautiful course, and the crowd matched the energy. These weren’t people there just for the golf. They were there because they care about East County kids.
That’s the kind of room we like being in.
Why We Showed Up
Big Box Storage has been a San Diego company since 2003.
Over those 20+ years, we’ve delivered portable storage units to driveways all over the county. La Mesa. Santee. Lakeside. El Cajon. These are neighborhoods we drive through every single week serving residential customers, businesses, and military families across the region.
They’re not just service areas on a map. They’re communities we’re part of.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of East County operates in those same neighborhoods. They run after-school programs, teen centers, and safe spaces for kids who need them. Five clubhouse locations. Decades of consistent work. Real impact on real families.
When they asked for support, the answer was easy.
What BGCEC Does – And Why It Matters
A lot of kids in East County don’t have a safe place to go after school.
BGCEC fixes that. They show up in La Mesa, Santee, El Cajon, and Lakeside every day with structure, adult mentorship, and programs that actually change outcomes for young people.
They don’t make a lot of noise about it. They just do the work.
Golf Day is how they fund that work. Every team on the course. Every sponsor on the tee box. All of it goes back to keeping those clubhouse doors open for kids who need them most.
You can learn more and follow their upcoming events on the BGCEC website.
What We Took Away
Sponsorships are easy to reduce to a logo and a check.
This one felt different. Being on that course with 175 people who genuinely care about East County – that’s not something you get from a banner placement. It’s a reminder that community is built by showing up, not just writing about it.
We serve El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa, and Lakeside every week. Backing the kids growing up in those neighborhoods is the least we can do.
We’ll be back at Golf Day 2027. If you’re a local business thinking about where your sponsorship dollars should go next year — put this one on your list.
