An Amazing Benefit Gala

The 12th Annual Boys & Girls Clubs Benefit Gala set for Feb 2, 2019, was again held at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. The evening featured a complimentary Cocktail Hour, Silent Auction, Gourmet Dinner, an exciting Live Auction plus entertainment by Master Magician, Gary Goodman.

Gary Goodman has performed to rave reviews from numerous celebrities, on cruise ships, at Las Vegas and on TV, with his display of Magic, Illusion and Mind Reading. He guaranteed fun and amazement for all guests at the Benefit.

The Grand Finale Live Auction has been a particularly attractive cap to the evening, with premier offerings of a fully-donated 12-day Crystal Cruise obtained by Wallace Pierson Travel, and a valuable piece of original fine jewelry from Robison Jewelers. The Silent Auction was held prior to and during the evening, featuring many great new opportunities.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County depend on this annual event for major support of their programs for some 600 local youngsters in after-school and summer sessions at the two local state-of-the-art Clubs. Kids from 6 to 18 are guided by a professional staff toward skill development in Character, Health & Fitness, Technology, Art and Sports. Funds pass through the Nassau County Boys & Girls Clubs Foundation which regularly receives the highest Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator, the national reviewer of non-profit organizations.

Those attended this wonderful evening should were glad having reserved their spot early. The 2019 year’s Benefit was sold out, just as it has in past years. The Silent Auction had been open for bidding at bgcnassau.org since January 22nd
