Save the date to attend the Boys & Girls Village (BGV) annual fundraiser Compass To Success: A Nautical Night of Seaside Support. On Thursday, June 11th, the community is invited to attend an exceptional evening at Black Rock Yacht Club in Bridgeport, CT. Attendees will enjoy a spectacular evening of festive cocktails, great music, delicious food, inspiring speakers and breathtaking waterfront views.
The event, which will be hosted by Taylor Kinsler, host of CT Live! on NBC Connecticut, celebrates client success and the growth of the organization. A leader in providing mental health treatment, permanency planning and educational services to Connecticut’s most vulnerable youth and their families, BGV serves clients from 50 communities across the state from their Norwalk, Bridgeport, Milford and Waterbury locations.
“At this event we honor the life-changing work that Boys & Girls Village provides to at-risk children and their families,” said Kimberly Shaunesey, Boys & Girls Village President and CEO. “Our only fundraiser of the year, Compass to Success supports vital programming for those who need it most.”
Proceeds from the evening will raise critical funds for at-risk children and families who often have histories of abuse, neglect, or live in poverty. Later this year, BGV will expand its role of supporting older youth by developing a Life Skills & Vocational Training Center. The center will offer introductory job-readiness vocational classes, providing opportunities for students to gain skills to enter the workforce upon high school graduation.
Boys & Girls Village would like to thank it’s event sponsors to date, Bismark Construction, Edward Jones, Somerset Capital, and media sponsor, Fairfield Living Magazine/Moffly Media.
