We invite you to join us in celebrating a season of growth and hope as we celebrate our incredible youth at the “Blooming Bright Futures” Gala. Inspired by the transformative power of opportunity, this evening shines a
light on young people who are blooming into the leaders of tomorrow.

Since 1947, Youth of the Year has been our premier recognition program, honoring outstanding Club members for their leadership, academic achievement, and service. Each finalist’s journey is a story of courage,
resilience, and potential.

In addition to celebrating our Youth of the Year finalists, we honor and celebrate Paul and the late Nicole Hensley for their tireless advocacy of Boys and Girls Club Kids.

The Youth of the Year Gala brings together our most dedicated supporters, community partners, and leaders to recognize youth who have overcome obstacles and risen as role models. This unforgettable evening includes
heartfelt stories, community awards, and the crowning of our 2026 Youth of the Year.

This year’s Master of Ceremonies is Matt Bonner, previous Spurs player and former Boys and Girls Club Kid
The evening will close out with Finding Friday, a high energy cover band.

Your sponsorship, attendance, and support nurtures our mission: empowering youth today to build a
better tomorrow. Let’s sow the seeds of Great Futures, together.
