Since the close of the Second World War, the Woman’s Board of Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago has proven to be a powerful force in Chicago’s philanthropic community. The members of the Woman’s Board are strongly committed to the mission of BGCC, funding programs across all 21 Chicago area Clubs. The annual Summer Ball gala, the organizations largest fundraising event, raised more than $1.4 million in 2015.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago encourages Club Members to discover a new world of opportunity through their Club. The 2016 Summer Ball Gala will celebrate the aspirations of our Club youth with "Dream BIG!"
