Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester to Host Gala to Support Critical Youth Programs

Mount Kisco, NY (May 2026)--- The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester (BGCNW) will host its highly anticipated June 5, 2026 Gala, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters for an evening dedicated to transforming the lives of local youth.

The event serves as the cornerstone of BGCNW’s 2026 fundraising campaign, with proceeds directly funding essential programs that provide a safe, supportive environment for children and teens throughout Northern Westchester.

More Than a Gala — A Lifeline for Local Youth

While the June 5 gala will feature an engaging program, community celebration, and opportunities to participate in a dynamic online auction, the mission behind the event is urgent: to raise the critical funds needed to sustain and expand services for the growing number of youth who depend on the Club every day.

For many families, BGCNW is not an option it is essential.

Donations support:

• After-school academic enrichment and tutoring
• Mental health and wellness resources
• Leadership and career readiness programs
• Safe, structured environments during high-risk hours
• Access to meals and supportive mentorship

“Every dollar raised on June 5 and through our broader campaign directly impacts a child’s future,” said Alyzza Ozer, CEO, BGCNW. “We are seeing increased demand across all our programs, and community support is what makes this work possible.”

A Call to Action: Donate, Participate, Make an Impact

While gala attendance is expected to draw strong support, the organization emphasizes that donations whether you attend are the most powerful way to ensure no child is turned away.

We are thrilled to honor Johannah Townsend with the Humanitarian Award and Traub Lieberman Strauss & Shrewsberry LLP with the John Beach Award.
