SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 21, 2009 — eBay guru Greg Kusch and his mother Eileen felt compelled to help out kids who may not have as much as others. In the spirit of giving, the Kusch family has donated $100,000.00 in name-brand Hoodie Sweat Shirts to the Santa Monica Boys & Girls Clubs and challenges their friends and business associates to make similar offerings.
Greg has received national attention via his expertise in the world of eBay. He is one of only a few individuals to attend the eBay-sanctioned University. An instructor and author, Greg Kusch is among just twenty-three people in the United States who are business consultants trained and certified by eBay. He has been recognized nationally as the premiere expert on eBay and is uniquely qualified to help everybody to be successful in the world of online auctions. His knowledge has helped thousands of people maximize their profit potential on millions of items online via eBay (http://www.officialebayguru.com/).
Regarding this donation, Greg says, “I spent a good portion of my childhood at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, known as the Boys Club back then. To this day, the sports and recreational activities I participated in at that time help drive my competitive nature and will to succeed.”
Mr. Kusch was recently diagnosed with rare Sarcoma Cancer. He intends to fight the disease and is in treatment every day. During his time of treatment, he hopes to inspire his friends and business colleagues to step up their respective philanthropic efforts and activities.

More on the Boys & Girls Clubs of America: In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more.
Our Mission is the Movement’s Reason for Being: To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. A Boys & Girls Club provides: A safe place to learn and grow; Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals; Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences; and Hope and opportunity.
The Scope of the Movement:
- Some 4.5 million boys and girls served
- More than 4,300 Club locations
- Locations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and on U.S. military bases around the world
- More than 50,000 trained professional staff Inspiring a Generation!
Every day Boys & Girls Clubs inspire their members. Whether encouraging young people to complete their homework, play sports or recreational activities, enter an art competition or have a healthy snack, Club staff know the important role they play in creating the wholesome environment kids need. The United States is facing a national crisis with soaring high school drop-out rates, coupled with low fitness and high obesity within our young people. Boys & Girls Clubs are providing solutions to this national epidemic through homework help, engaging and fun nutritional tips, energizing sports and recreational activities and challenging academic programs.
