What: The 16th Annual Steak & Steak Dinner and Charity Auction is the largest annual fundraising event for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfi eld.

Silent Auction will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Dinner/program begin at 7:00 p.m.

Where: University Plaza Convention Center

Speaker: Tony La Russa

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: $100,000+ net.

Why it matters: The dinner will raise critical funding to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfi eld 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 $25 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 Lance Armstrong 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.
