On Saturday, May 19, the Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club will host its 36th annual dinner auction at the Niagara Falls Conference & Event Center. This event serves as the major fundraiser for the club and will be attended by more than 350 professionals and supporters.
During this event, guests will have the opportunity to bid on 300-plus silent auction items and live auction items to help raise funds to support the Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club.
This year, the Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club will induct its second class of the Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club Hall of Fame. Honorees are Gary Hall, Assemblyman Angelo Morinello and the Alphonso DiMino family. All have been longtime supporters of the Boys & Girls Club.
"They have contributed their time, talent and treasures in order to help us achieve our mission of providing a safe place for children to learn, grow and have fun," the agency stated.
Chief Professional Officer Rebecca Vincheski, current Board Chairwoman Anne Marie DiMino Hepfer and auction chairs Lillian Tittle and Karen Certo will present the awards.
