GREAT FUTURES CELEBRATION
We look forward to seeing you for the 2025
GREAT Futures Celebration marking our 165th Anniversary!
Don't Miss Out on the Music, Magic & Memories!
Music has the magical ability to transport us, to a different time – to a different era. But, as melodies, tempos and styles change with the years, one thing remains the same. Great Futures have ALWAYS started here.
Join us as we celebrate 165 years of helping young people in Hartford reach their full potential. Our Great Futures Celebration will transport guests back in time to the founding of the Boys & Girls Club. A novelty of the time, stage magicians were captivating audiences and begging the question – if they can seemingly defy the forces of nature, why can’t we? Why can’t we give young people a safe place – a place that will shuffle the hand they’ve been dealt – and put them on the path to success? We’ll captivate you with illusions that will help you experience the magic of a Boys & Girls Club and its ability to make the stress and realities many young people face – disappear!
We’ll delight your senses with eye-popping entertainment, decadent dishes and moving music. Your ears will be enchanted as we journey through different musical eras – from the classical music that was popular when the Club first opened, to the jazz age, the Big Band era when the Rat Pack reigned supreme, R&B, pop and finally the music you’ll hear kids playing in the Club today!
Reserve your spot now to experience the magic of a safe place after school, where great futures are far from illusions and where memories are made every day.
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
