The Boys & Girls Club of Burlington is excited to once again off er the opportunity to partner with us to support youth and promote your business to hundreds of community members. After a sell out event last year, this year’s gala is on track to draw over 300 attendees for the live broadcast of the race, followed by a dinner featuring traditional Derby fare and dancing to the R&B, Funk & Soul group Th e Real Deal! Hats and Derby attire are encouraged.

Not only is your sponsorship a great opportunity to increase your advertising presence, but also a chance to show the community your support for our programs and services. Our Club has been serving the Old North End since 1942, and thanks to supporters like you, has grown into the largest youth serving organization in Chittenden County. Our mission is to inspire and enable all youth, regardless of circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

Your support of this event means so much to each child we serve. We charge just $5 for a year of membership so that no one is turned away, but we cannot do it without you. Please join us for a fun-filled evening for the community and a brighter future for our children.
