BGC Coachella Valley Celebrates 35th Grand Auction Anniversary

The auction will keep its values of enhancing the lives of children with community and education& proceeds will go to the needs of the club.

Boys & Girls Club Of Coachella Valley: Boys & Girls Clubs of Coachella Valley (BGCofCV) will be celebrating their 35th Anniversary of the Grand Auction on March 11, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort and Spa. The 2017 Auction’s theme invites supporters to “Imagine…” the wonderful possibilities and educational opportunities that the youth of the Valley can experience when the community comes together and invests in the lives of children.

Supporting the five clubhouses of Coachella Valley, the Grand Auction draws hundreds of supporters and donors annually. This year’s fundraising gala will honor the Bozick Family, who has made a significant impact throughout the years in their support of BGCofCV. Considered to be “Champions of Youth,” the Bozick Family will be recognized for their service in the Coachella Valley.

This year’s Grand Auction features a new element—the Giving Tree. With the recent remodeling of the clubhouse in Indio, the Giving Tree offers a fruitful way for donors to furnish the needs of this newly renovated clubhouse.
