Announcing our 2016 Spirit of Youth Gala Chairs!
Boys Town North Florida hosted its 12th Annual Spirit of Youth Gala on Friday, April 24, at the University Center Club in Tallahassee. This year’s theme was “A Royal Celebration” led by Gala Chairs Beth Desloge and Laura Ervin and the other amazing chairs and committee members.
With the support of our generous community, this year’s gala raised an astounding $264,650 – providing help, healing and hope to our area’s most at-risk children and families. This was truly a royal evening to remember. Thank you, Boys Town family!
“Many thanks to those who served on committees, decorated, attended, purchased tables, sponsored and contributed donations to the silent and live auctions,” said Laura Ervin and Beth Desloge. “The night would not be possible without the talents of these very special ladies and gentleman. We were honored to be part of the leadership team and blessed to know the staff who serve Boys Town and our children every day. We look forward to supporting Tim and Stephanie Jansen and the 2016 Gala!”
