The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley held its 19th Annual Fundraising Gala and Auction “Back to the Future” on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at the Sheraton Universal Hotel.Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, guests and Emcee, Johnny Holiday more than $175,000 was raised.
This year the Club is recognized Burbank City Manager Mark Scott and Local Business Leader Kevin McCarney. “Both Mark and Kevin are former Boys & Girls members,” said Shanna Warren, CEO “illustrating perfectly the impact of the Boys & Girls Club on its participants. We are so excited to recognize these two community leaders and also show case how great futures do start at the Boys & Girls Club.”
