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! They not only learned basic instructions, they also had an amazing time and learned how golf principles can apply to a joyful, productive life. Thank you, Derrick, for taking the time to impact the lives of our Wayne County youth!
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!
