Boys and Girls Clubs of La Porte County's Blue Bash Gala Returns on October 11
Boys & Girls Clubs of La Porte County (BGCLPC) invites the community to attend its third annual Blue Bash gala on Friday, October 11. After two successful years at Blue Chip Casino, Hotel & Spa, the organization will mix things up in 2024 with a new location – the La Porte Civic Auditorium.
Blue Bash will begin at 6:00 PM and feature “dinner all night,” a cash bar and entertainment by Emcee David Greer in partnership with DJ Dennis Waller. Attendees are encouraged to wear anything they feel comfortable in – jeans, sequins or a ballgown – as long as it’s blue! Past years’ guests have been spotted in head-to-toe cobalt, navy and aquamarine.
Tickets and sponsorships can be purchased now at www.bgclpc.org/bluebash/. Discounted early bird rates are available through Friday, September 13. With more than 175 seats claimed to date, the organization is hoping for a sellout crowd.
BGCLPC is a La Porte County youth development nonprofit offering afterschool Clubs at 8 locations across Michigan City, La Porte, Westville and Kingsford Heights, plus 2 popular full-day summer camp programs. 2024 will see an expansion of its afterschool programming to the Rolling Prairie community. All BGCLPC services are currently provided at no cost to ensure they are accessible to the children and families who need them the most. The organization is on track to serve a record 900 Club members in 2024.
“As our organization grows, so does its geographic reach and impact,” says Michelle Shirk, BGCLPC Chief Executive Officer. “By the end of this year, we will be providing free afterschool programming to children in four different area school districts. Blue Bash is our largest annual fundraiser, and a fun way to help keep our programs free for local youth. We hope you can join us as we celebrate our Clubs with friends and supporters from all over La Porte County!”
Boys & Girls Clubs of La Porte County is a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a nationwide affiliation of more than 5,000 autonomous Club organizations. Questions about Blue Bash or BGCLPC’s programming? Please contact Michelle Shirk at mshirk@bgclubmc.org.
