By 1961 Pathfinders was focusing its fundraising efforts exclusively on the Boys Club of Palm Springs (now the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs) as its chosen charity and then additionally, starting in 1964, the Club's camp in Garner Valley, Pathfinder Ranch. Over $7 million has been raised through the organization's efforts and individual member donations throughout the years. Pathfinders has held numerous special events to raise funds and awareness for these two organizations: themed balls, teas, fashion shows, house tours, cabarets and even a polo match with Prince Philip in attendance in 1966!
