Last years fundraiser, the 2008 Caribbean Cruise, sold out nearly a month in advance and had over 700 guests in attendance making it the most successful fundraiser in the organization’s 57-year history. We hope that with your support, the 2009 Passport to Rio Benefit Gala for Kids will be an even bigger success!

During the course of the evening, guests will have the opportunity to meet many local and national celebrities, professional athletes and community leaders and enjoy an evening packed with tropical Brazilian food, live music from Welson Tremura & the Brazilian Knights, relaxing fun and excitement. The 2009 Passport to Rio Benefit Gala for Kids will be hosted by Radio Personality Storm Roberts along with Mrs. Shelley Meyer, wife of head coach Urban Meyer, of the 2006 & 2008 National Championship football team.

The evening will include a full casino with a variety of gaming tables and slot machines, silent auction tables loaded with everything from rare sports memorabilia to exotic vacation packages and a live auction that will also feature a variety of unique gifts.

We cannot do all of this, however, without the community’s support. If you are interested in donating items for the auctions, or if you would like to purchase tickets or corporate tables call (352) 372-5342 for more information. For your records, the tax ID number for the Boys & Girls Club of Alachua County is 59-6002181.
