The annual gala serves a major fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs, and is especially significant this year given flood damages sustained by the Club as a result of recent storms. Established in 1948 and presently serving over 1,200 boys and girls annually, the Club provides a safe and constructive environment for kids and teens. Their mission is to enable and inspire all young people, especially those who need it the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. It is currently the largest provider of afterschool programs in the City of Palm Springs.

Tickets for the event are $100 per person, with sponsorship packages starting at $1,000. To purchase tickets, sponsorships or to make a donation, please visit www.bgcps.org or call (760) 327-1304.
