Long Beach native Snoop Dogg is bringing his Dr. Bombay ice cream to Boys & Girls Clubs of America in Long Beach, Pittsburgh and Portland, Oregon.
Snoop Dogg’s Long Beach roots are well known – as is his love for the Boys & Girls Club at King Park in Long Beach, where he spent a lot of time as a pre-teen.
“The Boys & Girls Club in Long Beach at King Park is where I spent my summers playing sports and cutting up with my friends on the court,” said Snoop Dogg. “Ever since I was a kid, ice cream was a way to chill, relax and connect as family. I’m glad we can bring a little ice cream magic to the summer, as well as give them an opportunity to learn something new and fun.”
Dr. Bombay hosted an ice cream social for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach today where participating youth participated in a basketball activity and got to sample Dr. Bombay’s snackable sherbet swirled ice cream flavors – including the newly-launched Strawberry Cream Dream and Baked Blueberry Muffin.
The events at each club will be followed up this fall by an ice cream science lesson with Dr. Maya Warren, the ice cream expert and scientist who crafts Dr. Bombay’s indulgently nostalgic flavors. Her lesson will support the Boys & Girls Clubs’ STEAM programming with a full sensory experience on what creates the taste, smell, texture, and flavor of ice cream. The goal of this curriculum is to expand into a broader CPG program that addresses how science, art, math and technology are used to create our favorite products.

Two years ago, Snoop teamed up with Under Armour and Golden State Warriors’ MVP point guard Steph Curry to renovate the indoor gym, the Damion Scott design took inspiration from the park where Snoop Dogg and his wife grew up playing basketball. Currently, The Snoop Youth Basketball League (which operates out of the club) provides ‘NO COST’ advanced basketball training and supports competitive travel ball tournament access to youth wishing to participate in organized team sports.
