2024 Gala: Be A Kid Again

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Capital Area hosted its 2024 Great Futures Gala: Be A Kid Again on Friday, October 18th at the Albany Capital Center.

The 2024 Gala featured a fun & interactive carnival area with live games including bumper cars and a Hungry Hippos team game. Inside the main hall, we hosted 30 local food and beverage vendors providing delicious samples and treats. For entertainment, we hosted two Club teens from our Lyricism 101 music program to perform as well as our headliner, comedic magician Matt Roberts.

BGCCA presented awards to community partners: KPMG and Elevance Health.
