We know that this has been challenging for everyone, and to stand by our commitment to the community we’ve partnered with Petaluma People Services to address the impact the pandemic has had on the emotional wellness of our members by providing group and 1:1 counseling weekly for our members, with immediate focus on our youth ages 14-18. We're dedicated to making our Mental Health Services free for the remainder of the school year, so kids will be able to get the help they need to end the year on the best footing possible.



We’re excited to be able to have the Sweetheart Gala & Auction in-person this year, and we’ve got a fun night planned that starts with an elegant multi-course dinner, silent and live auctions, and dancing - all while raising funds to help support Sonoma Valley youth. If you haven’t had a chance to get your tickets yet, or would like more information, check out our website at www.bgcsonoma.org/sweetheart for more details about this event. 

I encourage you to read more about this exciting new wellness program, or to get in touch with me to learn more about it or any of the others we are making available to our youth in the coming year. Thank you for supporting Boys & Girls Clubs and making it possible for us to provide hope and opportunity for so many deserving youth - we could not do this without you.

With gratitude,

Cary Snowden

The kids in Natalie Wallace's classes have been busy creating their best work yet in order to be considered to take part in our local art contest! Painting, drawing, collage, and ceramics are all some of the mediums the students have been working in - what talent!

The Sweetheart Gala & Auction sells out yearly and is one of the most popular events in Sonoma Valley! Each year we celebrate a special honoree, or “Sweetheart” while raising funds that benefit Sonoma Valley youth. The event kicks off the first Saturday in March at 5 pm with a cocktail reception, followed by an elegant multi-course dinner. The silent and live auctions feature select getaways, one-of-a-kind experiences, premium wine, and other exciting lots. The fun doesn’t stop there, though! The afterparty features dancing along with delicious sweet and savory bites.

We're dedicated to hosting the safest event possible. Proof of vaccination, safe distancing, and deep cleaning is all in effect for this spectacular evening.

We're so excited about this in-person event!
