Opening Doors to Great Futures: Join us for our 35th Annual Charity Auction! For nearly 6 decades, we have been committed to inspiring and empowering young people. Every day, our Clubs provide a safe place where youth can learn, grow, build meaningful relationships, and discover opportunities that help shape their futures.
Today, the need for that support is greater than ever! In 2025 alone, 1,368 young people entered through the doors of our Mike Horn Unit in Owensboro. They found caring mentors, developed new skills, explored career opportunities, and experienced the sense of belonging every child deserves. Thanks to the support of our community, our Club members are building brighter futures and reaching their full potential.
That is why we are excited to host the 35th Annual Charity Auction on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at Buffalo Wild Wings in Owensboro. Sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings and Heritage Federal Credit Union, this annual event brings together community members, businesses, and supporters who share a common goal: investing in the next generation. The live auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. and promises to be an evening of fun, generosity, and impact. The proceeds from this event help support the programs and services that make a difference in the lives of our Owensboro Club kids and teens. From after-school programming and summer opportunities to workforce development initiatives and educational enrichment, the Club works every day to help young people succeed in four key areas: Academic Success, Health & Well-Being, Character & Leadership, and Life & Workforce Readiness.
The impact of Boys & Girls Clubs extends far beyond the classroom. Nationally, 91% of Club youth report having a trusted adult to talk to when facing challenges, and 89% say they feel accepted at the Club. These relationships and experiences help young people develop the confidence and resilience needed to thrive. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving youth ages 6-18, the Cliff Hagan Boys & Girls Club has spent the past 59 years strengthening our community by investing in its future leaders, workers, innovators, and problem-solvers. None of this would be possible without the generosity of supporters who believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed
We invite you to be part of this special tradition. Whether you attend the auction, bid on an item, donate, or simply help spread the word, your support helps ensure that our Club members continue to have access to life-changing opportunities.
Together, we can open doors to great futures.
