2012 Gala: Paradise Found

 Boys Town North Florida invites you to our annual Spirit of Youth Gala Friday, April 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the University Center Club! 

The theme for this year's black-tie event is "Paradise Found", which brings home what Boys Town is all about - the children and families we serve have finally FOUND a place where they can heal within Boys Town's Integrated Continuum of CareSM. We are also extremely proud of Ashley, a Boys Town youth who did the pencil drawing for the gala invite.

Her drawing helps set the tone for the entire tropical and elegant evening where guests will enjoy a story and performance from the children and treasures from the silent and live auctions. Gene Deckerhoff will serve as auctioneer for this year's live auction. If you have an item you'd like to donate, please download the Auction Form.

Sponsors are also needed to help ready the sails of this event! Register online today! Please contact Dena Strickland at dena.strickland@boystown.org for more information and sponsorship levels.

Enjoy tropical elegance and experience the hope Boys Town North Florida gives to children and families in our community at our 2012 Gala! Your support is greatly appreciated!
