Celebrate With Us!

Saturday, April 25, 2026
BLOC15, 252 2nd St, Oakland, CA 94607
Join us at Villa Donna!

 

Join us for an enchanting evening inspired by the magic of Mamma Mia! — where friendship, laughter, music, and a little bit of destiny remind us what’s possible when a community comes together.

At our Mamma Mia! Here We Grow Again Gala, we’ll celebrate the heart and soul of our Boys & Girls Club — the young people whose dreams are just beginning to unfold. Like the island story we all love, this night is about belonging, courage, and discovering who you’re meant to be.

Enjoy:
- A Mediterranean-inspired dinner under twinkling lights
- ABBA favs that will have you singing “Here we go again”
- Stories of growth, resilience, and bright futures
- Opportunities to invest in the next generation

Because when our community says, “Take a chance on me,” incredible things happen for the children and teens we serve. Every dollar raised helps provide mentorship, academic support, leadership opportunities, and a safe place to grow — ensuring every Club member can step confidently into their own spotlight.

So channel your inner Dancing Queen (or Super Trouper), gather your friends, and join us for a night where the music is joyful, the mission is meaningful, and the future is shining bright.
