Enjoy the whimsy and fun of a Wizard of Oz-themed Spring Fundraiser to benefit the local children who rely on the programs and services of Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast. This event will be held on Friday, March 22, 2024 at the Radisson Hotel ballroom in Santa Maria.
The evening begins with champagne and features a hosted bar, delicious food and a dessert auction, where guests can bid on decadent cakes, gourmet cookies and other amazing treats. The Radisson Hotel will be transformed into the Emerald City and lots of Oz-related details will be featured. The Clubs’ Youth of the Year, Abraham Carrillo-Galindo, will give a touching speech about his experiences as a Boys & Girls Clubs Member and the night’s auction will be led by celebrity auctioneer, Todd Ventura. Sunny Country’s very own Jay Turner will serve as the emcee for the evening. Guests can bid on trips, visits to amazing local restaurants, household items, wine and other unique items.
The Have a Heart Paddle Raise will be an opportunity for guests to make a donation to support Boys & Girls Clubs Members who are part of the Keystone Club leadership program, in which the teens are raising money to attend the national conference this summer. The goal is to raise $10,000 to fund 10 local teens for this important learning experience.
Individual tickets are $150 each and tables of 10 are available for purchase. Special thanks to event sponsors Allan Hancock College, Ogden Wealth Management, Dignity Health, American Riviera Bank, Santa Barbara Foundation, PETS Hospital and Urgent Care, Torchlight Marketing and Namu Love Photography.
