Featuring
Nick Saban
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013
University Plaza Convention Center
What: The 17th Annual Steak & Steak Dinner and Charity Auction is the largest annual fundraising event for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield. Guests will enjoy dinner – sharing their table with friends and family. The program will feature the recognition of our 2013 Youth of the Year and our Guest Speaker, Four-time National Champion Football Coach Nick Saban.
When: Tuesday, April 2, 2013
Silent Auction will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Pre-Party from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
Dinner/program begin at 7:00 p.m.
Where: University Plaza Convention Center
Speaker: Nick Saban
Who will be there: The A-list of businesses and community leaders of Springfield. Corporate supporters often use the event to entertain business associates or reward outstanding employees.
Goal: $200,000 + net.
Why it matters: The dinner will raise critical funding to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield and more than 3,000 registered members served each year. Many of these young people come from disadvantaged circumstances and look to the Club as an important stabilizing force in their lives. The Steak & Steak Dinner helps bridge the gap between the $30 fee Club members pay each semester and the $550 it costs to provide programs to them.
Dinner History: The first Steak & Burger Dinner was held in 1997. Last year’s Steak & Steak Dinner and Charity Auction raised more than $200,000. More than 1,000 people enjoyed guest speaker Tony LaRussa and dinner with friends. Guest speakers from past years include: Drew Brees, Roy Williams, Bob Gibson, Coach Bob Knight, Tony Gonzales, Dick Vitale, Bill Russell, Mike Ditka, Dick Vermeil, Johnny Bench, Archie and Peyton Manning and Jackie Joyner Kersee.
