It's time to come together to give thanks to the staff and community leaders who make the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield feel like home to so many! Please join us on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at the Club for the Great Futures Celebration, presented by Fairfield County Bank.
There are still tickets available so get yours HERE.
The Great Futures Celebration is always a fun evening - with dinner catered by Raffaelle Gallo, of Gallo Ristorante, signature drinks provided by American Metal Whiskey, live music from the band goRjA in our Late Night Lounge sponsored by Candace V. Fay Counselor and Attorney at Law, a Postgame Locker Room Party hosted by Ridgefield Basketball Association, and photo booth fun with G-EZ 360.
We will also be honoring Carl Lecher, our 2023 Champion of Youth, for his dedication to our Club members and youth in our community, particularly over the past couple of years as the Building Chair for our Growth Campaign. And, perhaps the highlight of the evening, will be when all attendees hear from our very own 2019 Connecticut State Youth of the Year, Allie Cauchon, as she shares her BGCR experience.
WHY IS SUPPORTING THE GREAT FUTURES CELEBRATION SO IMPORTANT?
It costs the Club nearly $3,500 per child for the after-school program and approximately $600 per week during the summer, but we only charge a fraction of that per year. We keep our fees affordable so that ALL children can participate. The Club must fundraise each year to make up the difference, and support from our biennial Great Futures Celebration is critical to meeting our fundraising goal.
The Great Futures Celebration also ensures that we can continue to retain our amazing youth development staff members. Staff members like Jeff, Devon, Danny, Timmy, Triston (Big Paw), Annie, and so many others, who are the reason that the Club is the special place that it is.
If the Boys & Girls Club is important to your family, or if you believe all young people should have a place to belong, we hope you will find a way to support the Great Futures Celebration.
