Dear Friends of Boys & Girls Clubs,
2022 is a momentous year for Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley as we celebrate 60 years of service to the youth and families of Sonoma Valley. While we have celebrations for the organization planned in the coming months, next month is our Youth of the Year event, the annual celebration of our youth.
I always refer to Youth of the Year as the best night of the year, and it is truly my personal favorite. Youth of the Year is our premier youth recognition program for our Club members and it promotes and celebrates:
service to the Club, community, and family, academic success, strong moral character, life goals, and
poise and public speaking ability.
At the event, we will recognize a Youth of the Year from each of our seven elementary and middle school locations. We will also hear four teens share their personal stories and how their stories have been shaped by Boys & Girls Clubs and Teen Services. Additionally, we will celebrate an Athlete of the Year from our athletics department, and the Carole Downing Volunteer of the Year. All of the incredible youth we will celebrate on November 17th exemplify our mission and are proof of the impact Clubs make in transforming and saving kids’ lives. They are the voice of hope and spirit for so many Sonoma Valley kids.
I would be overjoyed if you would consider joining us for this heartwarming event. This year's Youth of the Year event will take place Thursday, November 17th at 6 pm. Due to the construction at the Maxwell Farms Regional Park, the event will take place at Vintage House (264 First Street East, Sonoma). I very much hope you will join me for the best night of the year!
Thank you for your continued support of BGCSV.
