It’s time to mark your calendars. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Chaffee County are planning a new, countywide event called the Great Futures Gala from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 28 in the Pavilion at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort.
The Great Futures Gala replaces the Salida Club’s Casino Night and Buena Vista Club’s Boots and Bolos fundraisers of past years.
The Clubs’ Executive Director Brian Beaulieu said “It’s important to us that our Clubs have one countywide fundraising event moving forward, and that folks know it will be for all of our Chaffee County kids and programs. Great events attract great people and there’s no better cause than 800 kids who need our Clubs now more than ever.”
This year’s Gala features a buffet dinner, a speech by Youth of the Year, Kuper Banghart, and a live auction emceed by Jim Wilson. Auction items include a trip to Mexico, a full-day fishing/float trip on the Arkansas, and a Cape Cod vacation.

Two Club heroes will be honored for their service and dedication to the Club’s mission of enabling all young people, especially those who need the club most, to reach their full potential as caring, productive and responsible citizens.
Mindreader Sean Bott rounds out the evening’s entertainment and underscores the futuristic theme. Futuristic dress is encouraged.
Local businesses are invited to support the Club, allowing staff to deliver gold standard after-school and summer programming to one in three children in Chaffee County.
