The Digital UnGala

Page 1

2022


Dear Friends, Welcome to our second UnGala, our signature dinner and wine country auction supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley! The last 2 years have been a whirlwind for our community. We are incredibly proud, however, of the work and support the Club continues to do on behalf of Napa’s most vulnerable. The Club is a place of joy and engagement. It’s a place of family and heart. We are so much more than daycare, and that distinction has never been more apparent than in our response to emergent crisis over the last five years. If you live, work, visit, or do business in Napa, you’ve witnessed the Club’s work because behind that grocery store clerk’s mask was a father who knew his teen was getting help with distance learning. The doctor you saw was focused because she knew her daughter was safe and loving that art program. That Napa Valley wine we love, the vineyard worker who harvested the grapes beneath the orange sky of wildfires, his kids were at the Club doing science programs and making new friends. The Club is a place for youth but there is a real magic that takes place within these walls and tonight you get to help that magic persist. Its easy for us to say that these successes are agency driven, but you, as donors, advocates, and community leaders make all of this possible. Your support makes our work deeper and more impactful. More than that, your support makes life qualitatively better for people living and working in Napa Valley. That’s what we love about Napa. As a community,


we believe that success is a shared venture; that our exceptional leaders, vintners, and partners understand that their success is born of the hard work and effort of our entire Napa Valley community, that the fruits of that labor enrich the lives of our community as a whole. With this spirit in mind, we know every child deserves the chance to realize their own limitless potential; tonight is an expression of your investment in, support of, and love for the Napa Valley and more importantly the generations of youth who continue to grow among the vines. Thank you for being a part of this special evening. Thank you from our kids. Thank you from the kid in each of us. With Gratitude,

Bid For Kids “I felt disconnected when I first moved to Napa but the Boys & Girls Club quickly became my second home. The Club was my place to connect with friends. It was my place to connect with people who cared about me. It was the place I chose to give back to as a teen, as a coach, and as a leader. I found myself here, as a confident and caring young woman and I can’t wait to turn that around and share my time with kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley.” -Azhley Gonzalez, 2022 Youth of the Year
