Boys and Girls Clubs of Whatcom County (BGCW) will hold its annual “Inspire Higher Dreams” gala and auction at 5 p.m. Friday, April 26 at the Semiahmoo Resort.
The gala raises funds for BGCW’s eight childcare locations around the county, with last year’s fundraiser generating more than $500,000, BGCW CEO Heather Powell wrote in a news release.
The black tie event will feature a red carpet entrance for guests, a surf-and-turf dinner, and silent and live auctions. Formal attire is highly encouraged, according to a BGCW press release.
“Last year, the gala raised more than $500,000 to support the academic success, healthy lifestyles and good character programs at the Clubs,” Powell wrote in a statement. “Funds raised at this event are critical in helping us accomplish our mission. We could not continue to do whatever it takes without the support of our community.”
BGCW has a Blaine clubhouse, located at 635 8th Street near the Blaine school district campus, and is currently opening registration for its summer camp, which starts June 17.
