Great Scott! You’re invited to Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota’s 2025 Summer Benefit: Back to Our Future! It will be an electrifying evening where we’re putting the pedal to the metal on building great futures for youth.
Join us as we fire up the flux capacitor of change and raise vital support to fuel high-quality programs that empower young people to reach 88 mph and beyond in academic success, life & workforce readiness skills, leadership qualities, creative expression & more. With your help, we’ll generate the 1.21 gigawatts of impact needed to drive our mission forward.
It’s going to be a night to remember as you cruise through an evening packed with timeless fun. Guests will enjoy a strolling buffet and beverage sampling from the best restaurants, caterers & breweries in Hill Valley—er, Central Minnesota! Get ready to jam out like it’s the Enchantment Under the Sea dance with music from the rockin’ ’50s and totally radical ’80s, all while shopping a silent auction that’s more exciting than a ride in the DeLorean. Don your ’50s or ’80s duds, or
simply come as you are! You won’t want to miss it!
Tickets: $100 per individual or $150 per couple

BIG NEWS!
Thanks to the generosity of Stearns Bank, we’re thrilled to announce that they will match the first $15,000 toward our Fund the Need goal of $40,000—that’s heavy! This means your donation to support Boys & Girls Club’s meal program will go twice as far, helping us deliver even more nutritious meals to kids who need them most. Last year, we served 85,000 meals and 170,000 snacks!
But don’t wait—act now to help us power up the kitchen and fuel young minds and bodies! With your support (and a little plutonium-level generosity), we’ll create a future where no child goes hungry.
⚡Join us—because when it comes to feeding kids, the future is now.⚡
