The Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians has donated $1.5 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest County.

The donation will help be used to finance two new buildings. One is a youth center already under construction that will serve an estimated 1,500 kids a year. The other is a club facility that will serve 5,000 kids a year.

The donation is the single largest in the Pechanga Band's history.
