Thanks to all the incredible people and organizations who support our mission, our 2018 Annual Dinner was a great success!

Our Annual Dinner brought together two hundred community members and organization representatives who share and support our mission to enable Wayne County youth to realize their full potential, for which we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to each and every one of you for a successful evening, and your continuing commitment to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County!
The evening's events included presentations by our leadership and Club members, giving out awards, passing out the 2017 Annual Report, and the appointment of our new board president, Jera Schwer!
A particularly heartwarming highlight was the surprise "Volunteer of the Year Award" presentation to Charles Davis. We're pretty impressed with ourselves that we were all able to keep it a secret, but even moreso, we are grateful to Charles' generous spirit and dedication to our cause!
From the bottom of our heart, thank you to everyone who came out in support of advancing our mission to reach the kids in our community.

Words really seem inadequate to express our gratitude to everyone who made our 2018 Smart Futures Dinner a memorable, uplifting success. With 300 people in attendance, this event was a testament to the ongoing support from our community for the Club's mission to give the gift of a great future to our young people.

Because of our staff and event committee's hard work, the gym at our Jeffers Unit was completely transformed into a beautiful banquet hall, totally fit for a decadent Olde Richmond Inn dinner and powerful presentations from our speakers!

Through the Campaign for Tobacco Free-Kids, Kick Butts Day is an incredible, interactive program that educates youth about the costs and dangers of using tobacco. Kids can touch and see real pigs' lungs demonstrating side-by-side the physical effects of tobacco smoke, study quality diagrams that showcase the damages of nicotine and tobacco, and the ever-popular inflatable jousting match with a giant cigarette!

Pro golfer and Alan Pacific Foundation founder Derrick Allen's big heart and great energy provided our Club members with an unforgettable experience!

Thank you, Derrick, for taking the time to impact the lives of our Wayne County youth!
