Evening of the Stars 2024
Send 10 of our Teen Members to BGCA's National Keystone Conference in 2024!
Boys & Girls Club of Newark presents:
We hope you will join us, dressed in Hollywood Glamour/Formal Attire as we celebrate 86 years of creating Great Futures! On May 2, 2024, we will gather at the beautiful Legacy Castle, 141 Route 23, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444. We will be recognizing honorees and supporters like you, as we continue impacting the lives of the 1,000 youth we serve.
Your past support has allowed us to provide safe spaces, caring mentors, and life-changing programs each day. With your help, we ignite the potential in every child and give them opportunities to discover their talents. Whether through art, STEM, leadership development, or just having a listening ear as a volunteer, YOU help build the foundation for our success.
This year, our goal is to raise $500,000 to sustain our vital work. Your tax-deductible gift will go even further in empowering the next generation. No amount is too small to make a difference in a young life. A gift of:
- $50 provides tutoring services for 2 days a week.
- $155 sponsors a session of swimming lessons.
- $15,000 covers registration for 300 members to be involved in our Robotics Club through the STEM Center.
- $30,000 provides 10 Therapy Sessions to 35 Youth.
This year, we are thrilled to present awards to three outstanding and phenomenal recipients or organizations. The awards being presented are:
- The Cynthia M. Banks Award: which recognizes a person or organization that selflessly gives their time and resources to improve children's lives.
- The Goodwin, Hammersley, Bushnell Humanitarian Award: showcases an individual or organization who has made a significant impact on their community through direct community engagement to improve the quality of life for individuals, and the community at large.
- The William "Jazz" Jones Award: presented to a substantial individual for their continuous commitment to initiatives that benefit organizations such as BGCN.
- Youth of the Year Award: awarded to a remarkable club member for overcoming challenges in their life with resilience, exceptional dedication and has excelled in their personal development.
Please consider celebrating these outstanding individuals and organizations with us on May 2, 2024. Cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m. Together, through your generosity, we can empower even more local youth for years to come.
