Boots & Bling Gala Breaks Records and Hearts (in the Best Way)

On Saturday, November 23rd, something magical happened at the Nashua Country Club.Decked out in cowboy boots and sparkle, more than 200 friends, supporters, and community champions came together for our 24th annual Gala—an unforgettable night of generosity, connection, and pure heart.And wow, did it shine.From the moment guests arrived, there was a sense of celebration in the air—and that was before the auction paddles even came out. The silent auction was packed with amazing items and experiences, and the live auction brought the energy to another level, especially when our famous handmade quilt took the stage.But it wasn’t just the items that made the night so special. It was the people.One of the most powerful moments of the evening came when 3rd grader Abbey Baron Passen, a proud Club kid, stood beside her dad Christian to share their family’s story. Their words reminded us all of we gather each year: because the Boys & Girls Club changes lives, not just for kids—but for families and entire communities. Then came our Fund A Dream paddle raise, and once again, our community showed up in a way that left us absolutely speechless. It was one of the most moving moments we've ever experienced—and you could feel the impact in the room.By the end of the evening, thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, became our largest-grossing Gala to date, raising over $370,000 to support programs and opportunities for the youth and families we serve.To everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, bid, sponsored, or simply cheered us on: . You are the reason this Club is more than just a building—it’s a home, a launching pad, a place where dreams take root.We’re already looking forward to next year. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 at the Nashua Country Club. You won’t want to miss it.
