What: On the evening of Saturday, September 21, 2024, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego will host the 11th annual An Evening of Changing Lives at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. This unforgettable gala celebrates the exceptional leadership of Tom Hazard, recipient of the prestigious 2024 Todd Gutschow Lifetime Leadership Award, and invites guests to step into a world where imagination becomes reality in changing young lives.

 

Why it Matters: For over 80 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego have been a driving force behind the success and growth of more than 22,000 youth across 23 sites in San Diego County.

This gala brings together over 700 philanthropists, community leaders, and supporters to celebrate the power of imagination and raise funds for life-changing programs such as STEAM activities, cooking classes, and sports—all of which inspire young minds to dream big and achieve even more.
