Youth of the Year Gala

Since 1947, Youth of the Year has been our premier recognition program, honoring outstanding Club members for their leadership, academic achievement, and service. Each finalist’s journey is a story of courage, resilience, and potential. Join us in celebrating a season of growth and hope as we honor our incredible youth at the “Blooming Bright Futures” Gala. Inspired by the transformative power of opportunity, this evening shines a light on young people who are blooming into the leaders of tomorrow.

The Youth of the Year Gala brings together our most dedicated supporters, community partners, and leaders to recognize youth who have overcome obstacles and risen as role models. This unforgettable evening includes heartfelt stories, community awards, and the crowning of our 2026 Youth of the Year.
