Lancaster native and former Club kid Ziaire Williams spreads joy with a heartfelt gesture for local families.

At the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club, we believe in the power of community—and few things are as inspiring as watching one of our own return to uplift the next generation. NBA player Ziaire Williams, a proud Lancaster native and former Club kid himself, recently made a dream come true for some local families with a special Mother’s Day surprise.


Through his Ziaire Williams Foundation, Williams partnered with Walmart to host a shopping spree for select Club families. The event wasn’t just about gifts—it was about creating lasting moments of joy and support for the people who make our community so special.


Williams understands firsthand the impact of the Boys & Girls Club. Growing up in Lancaster, the Club was a safe space for him to grow, learn, and pursue his dreams. Now, as a professional athlete, he remains dedicated to giving back to the place that helped shape him.


From clothing and essentials to toys and heartfelt gifts, the shopping spree provided families with items that brought smiles and gratitude. The joy on the faces of those in attendance was a reminder that generosity—whether big or small—can make a world of difference.


The Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club is beyond grateful for Williams’ generosity and ongoing commitment to his hometown. His act of kindness reinforces what we already know: once a Club kid, always a Club kid.



To Ziaire Williams and the Ziaire Williams Foundation—thank you for making Mother’s Day extra special for our families. Your heart for the community continues to inspire us all!
