Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester (BGCD) has announced that its annual Bright Futures Grand Drawing Gala will take place on Sat., Nov. 18, at Boston’s Fairmont Copley Plaza. The event includes both live and silent auctions, live music, and features a grand prize drawing where guests can win one of 10 spectacular prizes valued between $1,500 and $5,000.  Proceeds for the event support the club’s diverse youth programs.

HGTV host and interior designer Taniya Nayak, who was one of three honorees at BGCD’s New England Women’s Leadership Awards this spring, will host the event. Deshawn Vega, BGCD’s first Massachusetts winner for Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Youth of the Year competition in 23 years, will deliver the keynote speech.

BGCD serves over 4,000 youth in the Dorchester area from ages five to 18. The theme for this year’s Gala is “The Year of the Teen Takeover,” which will highlight the Club’s remarkable teenage members while they serve as leaders and ambassadors for BGCD throughout the evening.
