2026 Youth of the Year Gala

Join us at the 2nd Annual Youth of the Year Gala – happening Saturday, February 28, 2026, at the stunning Hilton Rockwall! It’s going to be an unforgettable evening celebrating the bold dreams and bright futures of the incredible young people from Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas. In years past, Hunt and Rockwall Counties each hosted their own celebrations—but in 2025, we combined forces for one bigger, better, and more impactful event… and we’re doing it again in 2026! Trust us, you don’t want to miss it. This powerful night will feature inspiring stories from Club members at every site, leading up to the highlight of the evening: the crowning moment for our 2026 Youth of the Year—the highest honor a Club member can earn. Get ready to be moved, motivated, and amazed. Guests will enjoy a chef-crafted dinner, live entertainment, high-energy live and silent auctions, and a can't-miss raffle packed with exciting prizes. And when the program ends, the party doesn’t! Stick around for our exclusive After Party—a fun, upbeat celebration where we’ll dance the night away, and keep the good vibes going. Every ticket and donation directly fuels life-changing programs that help local youth reach their full potential. Join us for a night of purpose, passion, and possibility—where every moment makes a difference.
