Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford seeks your support for our upcoming "2024 GREAT Futures Celebration & Open House, "Clubchella: Setting the Stage for Success" auction scheduled for Thursday, May 9, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. The event will take place at our South End Boys & Girls Club, located at 129 Ledyard Street, Hartford, CT.

The auction proceeds will directly benefit the transformative programs offered by our five Clubs and three school-based sites. These programs encompass Academic Success, Character & Leadership, Health & Wellness, DEI, STEAM, and Workforce Readiness. Research indicates that youth attending Boys & Girls Clubs are more likely to graduate high school and less likely to face challenges such as teen parenthood or involvement in the juvenile justice system.

In addition to unveiling a new Strategic Plan this year, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford is set to renovate our Northwest Clubhouse and is advancing plans for a Teen Center adjacent to Trinity College. Your support of our annual auction promotes your business while ensuring Hartford's children and teens have a safe haven after school and during the summer, with access to opportunities that deter engagement in risky behaviors during critical hours.

We invite you to consider donating an item for this year's auction. Auction items can include: Adventures, Artwork, Dining Experiences, Entertainment Packages, Experiences, Fashion & Accessories, Home & Lifestyle, Sports Memorabilia, Technology & Gadgets, and Travel/Wellness Packages.

Our 2023 Impact Report shows how your support can benefit our club kids.

We invite you to consider donating an item for this year's auction. If you can support us, please email Crystal Gist at cgist@bgchartford.org by April 26, 2024. For more information about this even, please click here.
