As BGCWPA continues to ReMEMEBER, ReIMAGINE, ReINVEST in our members, our programs and communities, we have taken on the challenge of relaunching our fundraisers to raise even more critical scholarships for our youth and to bring even more awareness to our mission. With this, in the face of COVID-19 and for the safety of our supporters, BGCWPA is excited to announce our largest fundraiser of the year!
The Bridge to Great Futures Gala is moving virtual!
Join us on August 5th with special guest, Smokey Robinson, to support thousands of local youth! 
It is now more important than ever that Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania stand by our values to advocate for equity, access, safety and dignity for ALL. BGCWPA is committed to being part of the solution, providing a safe, supportive place absent of inequities and injustices, where lives are enriched, minds are educated, hearts are mentored, and opportunities are paved by our committed staff and Clubhouse members. We invite you to join us in our efforts to provide awareness, access and opportunities to all youth so we may continue to activate and advance the potential in every child to ensure they have GREAT FUTURES !

This exclusive virtual event will be a VIP evening with our keynote speaker and BGCA Alumni,  Smokey Robinson ,  our event emcee and KDKA anchor,  Kristine Sorensen,  entertainment from Nashville star,  Dillon Dixon , and a chance to network with some of the most well connected guests Pittsburgh has to offer with  appetizers and Smokey Robinson wine delivered right to your door!

What Does My Participation Support?
 Thanks to supporters such as yourself, BGCWPA hasn’t stopped in the wake of
COVID-19, but has rather adapted to new demands and to the growing needs
amongst our communities.

Throughout the last few months, BGCWPA has been able to meet the demands for food, hygiene items, cleaning supplies, childcare for essential workers, ‘Club on the Go’ activities to do at home, virtual learning, special events, masks and so much more while preparing for the needs of the future to offer youth a blended model of Summer programming. Our efforts to do “whatever it takes” met the needs of over 5,000 kids during COVID-19 including 700 deliveries, 2,000 hot meals and
50,000 grab and go meals.
