Fundraising Events

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sequoias hosts several special events throughout the year. The events raise money for our Clubs and programs and recognize Club members’ achievements.

Event sponsorship gives companies, foundations and individuals a high-profile opportunity to support and improve the lives of our city’s young people. Our fundraising events have captured headlines in recent years for their innovative themes, special guests, success and attendance of area business and civic leaders.

We have several events to consider for sponsorship:

• World Ag Expo Food Booth - February 14th - 16th, 2012. We grill and serve some of the best tri-tip meals at the Expo. The event is fun and fast-paced and most of all - delicious! 
• Starlight Ball Dinner Auction - A formal black-tie dinner auction with live entertainment and dancing.Feb 11, 2012 Memorial Building, Exeter
• HarvestMoon Social Swirl - Will be held September 16, 2011 at the Visalia Convention Center. If you attended last year's event, you know: This isn't your grandmother's fundraiser! Social Swirl is a top-notch event with an emphasis on good food, good wine and good intentions.
• Sequoia Foodie Fest: - The two day event promotes the diversity of California's agricultural commodities. Our theme, 'California's Most Delicious Adventure', showcases local celebrity chefs in cooking demonstrations and contests in Kitchen Stadium throughout the weekend. The festival also features local wine, beer and spirits tasting along with food sampling. For more info see our website:   http://www.sequoiafoodiefest.com/
