LETTER FROM THE CENTRAL BOARD CHAIR...

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Welcome to our 40th Annual Steak n’ Burger Dinner. We are so proud to share this evening with you and hope that you will leave this event feeling as empowered to do more for our kids as we do.

The Annual Steak n’ Burger Dinner is our largest fund raising event. The concept for this unique event started right here in Memphis and has now been emulated by Boys & Girls Clubs all over the country. This evening gives you the opportunity to see the true value and impact of your generosity. Who better to tell you how much your efforts have positively changed lives than the children of our Boys & Girls Clubs? They are the reason why we are all so passionate and work hard to help continue our mission at making Boys & Girls Clubs the positive place for kids.

We serve over 7,000 youth between the ages of 6-18 years and tonight will introduce you to 120 Club members that consider the Club to be their second home. Your attendance here tonight means so much to us and to the children sitting at your table. Please take the time to talk with them and find out for yourself how important the Club is to them. They are the future of our city and your support will be the foundation which will enable these children to reach their goals and dreams.

Thank you so much for your investment in this organization for sharing this special night with us.
