Since 1946, Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County has been providing safe places where local youth can learn, grow, have fun, and discover a path to a great future. In celebration of 80 years of impact, we invite you to be part of a totally epic evening honoring the past while investing in the future.
Break out your best neon, dust off your Walkman, and get ready to rewind — we’re throwing it back to the 1980s for a high-energy 80th Anniversary "Back to the 80's Gala" at the Marriott Resort and Spa in Palmetto on April 11! Grab your slap bracelets, strike a pose like it’s 1985, and join us for a night of big hair, big hearts, and even bigger impact. It’s a chance to party like it’s the premiere of Back to the Future while helping ensure Club kids have everything they need to be Future Ready.
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening of fun, nostalgia, and mission moments as we celebrate eight decades of creating great futures for local children and teens — with a little help from our favorite throwback decade.
