Dinner with Friends
Thank you to everyone who attended our 2024 Dinner with Friends. Together, we raised more than $440,000 for local youth!
Our 2024 event is all wrapped up, but the exciting moments we shared will stay with us for years to come. It was an incredible and inspiring evening as we heard about the power of the Boys & Girls Club from our celebrity guest: America’s Caddie Michael Collins!
Special thank you to our major sponsors for making our 2024 event so special: Cornerstone Wealth Strategies, Henning Automotive Holdings, Phase 2 Electric, Chervenell Construction, CRF Metal Works, Cadwell, Corwin Ford Tri-Cities, Peak Engineers, and Amazon. And thank you to our outstanding emcee and auctioneer Gee Scott!
To everyone who supported this year’s event, thank you! Your investment in Clubs helps us empower local kids and teens to reach their full potential every day.
About Dinner with Friends
Dinner with Friends is the premier corporate fundraising event for Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties.
Each year, we welcome a well-known Club Alumni, celebrity, or supporter as our special keynote speaker. Past year’s guests include Shaun White, K.J. Wright, Evander Holyfield, Gary Payton, Mario Lopez, Brandi Chastain, and more! In 2024, we welcomed America’s Caddie Michael Collins as our celebrity guest!
In addition to hearing from a different celebrity guest each year, we also hold an exciting live auction for all guests to participate in. Proceeds from this event are dedicated to supporting the 4,000+ youth served annually at our local Boys & Girls Clubs.
