Event Overview

Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley's annual Sweetheart Gala & Auction will be held February 13, 2016. This event sells out every year! It is our most important fundraiser with 370 generous guests from the North Bay and beyond joining together to invest in our youth. The event generates 15% of our annual budget and proceeds support programming that changes the lives of kids and teens in Sonoma Valley.

Sweetheart Honorees

Each year a “Sweetheart” is selected for their leadership and outstanding contributions to Boys & Girls Clubs and the youth of Sonoma Valley. The “Sweetheart” demonstrates a commitment to improving the lives of children and teens through leadership, volunteering, and financial support. This year Boys & Girls Clubs is thrilled to honor August & Allison Sebastiani. For five generations, the Sebastiani family has been dedicated to supporting the youth of the Sonoma Valley community. August and Allison continue this tradition and truly epitomize what it means to be a “Sweetheart”.

Event Details

The black-tie event begins at 5pm and includes a cocktail reception, hors d'oeuvres, an elegant dinner catered by Elaine Bell catering, live and silent auctions, dancing and casino fun.  Each year we strive to make the event a unique and memorable experience for our attendees by selecting a theme that will surprise and delight guests throughout the evening. This year’s theme, “With love, all things grow,” was inspired by our 2016 Sweethearts, August & Allison Sebastiani and their passion to support and nurture our youth and the future of Sonoma Valley.
