Men of The Avenues is a community of good people who love life — and take care of the people around us. We raise money through social events and put it directly into the hands of families who need it most.
We are the Men of The Avenues — a community of over 100 guys from Redondo Beach who have been showing up for each other, and for our neighbors, since 2014. We believe the best neighborhoods aren't built by institutions — they're built by people who genuinely care.
We raise money the way we live — together. Through our annual Cornhole Tournament, parties, and friendly get-togethers, we turn good times into real, tangible help for families facing some of life's hardest moments.
When the call comes — a family who lost a child, a neighbor blindsided by a medical crisis, a kid who deserves a shot at college — we answer it. No bureaucracy. No red tape. Just neighbors taking care of neighbors, the way it should be.
Since 2014, Men of The Avenues has put over $50,000 directly into the hands of Redondo Beach families who needed it most. Every dollar stays local. Every gift is personal.
When a Redondo Beach family loses a child or a parent, the last thing they should worry about is finances. We provide direct, immediate financial support to grieving families — no applications, no waiting, no strings attached.
Unexpected medical emergencies and financial hardships can devastate a family overnight. We step in with direct assistance to help our neighbors stabilize, recover, and get back on their feet.
We are proud to award our inaugural scholarship to a graduating senior at Redondo Union High School — investing in the future of our community and recognizing a young person who embodies the spirit of the South Bay.
Our signature fundraiser brings the community together every year for a day of friendly competition, good food, and great company. Every entry and sponsorship goes directly toward helping families in need.
From backyard parties to neighborhood get-togethers, we raise funds the way we live — with people we care about. Our events are open, welcoming, and a great way to meet your fellow Avenues neighbors.
We don't write checks to distant organizations. Every dollar we raise stays right here in Redondo Beach — going directly to the families and individuals in our own backyard who need a hand.
Every donation you make goes directly to a Redondo Beach family in need — not to overhead, not to administration. Just neighbor to neighbor, exactly as it should be.
Whether you give $25 or $500, your generosity funds crisis relief for grieving families, medical hardship assistance, and scholarships for deserving students at Redondo Union High School.
