The Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago hosted its 19th Annual Guild Board Lawn Ball at the Saddle & Cycle Club. This year’s theme, “Under the Big Top,” transformed the venue into a dazzling circus extravaganza. Graciously led by Jancy Audet, Chris Brannan, and Carter Wojteczko, the event raised $511,860 with 245 guests in attendance. The club was honored to have the 2024 Youth of the Year, Ebonnye, alongside the esteemed auctioneer John Walcher, and special guests Michael Crowley, Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago President & CEO, and Joe Ferraro, Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago Chairman, Board of Directors. bgcc.org
