Boys & Girls Club Patron Party 2011

The Boys and Girls Club Patron Party serves as a way to thank generous donors

Event: The Boys and Girls Club Patron Party was held September 29 at the Dakota Jazz Club in downtown Minneapolis.

Cause: This intimate gathering of less than 150 people served as a way to thank those who donate to the Twin Cities branch of the Boys and Girls Club, an organization that seeks to enable underprivileged youth to reach their full potential through a variety of programs and clubs.

Meet and Greet: Patrons gathered early in the evening for hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, then enjoyed live entertainment and dinner at the ever-swanky Dakota Jazz Club.

Sing, Sing, Sing: There was no shortage of top-notch tunes as Irv Williams, Tommy O’Donnell, Jevetta Steele, More by Four, Nachito Herrera, and Bettye LaVette lit up the stage with toe-tapping music all night long.
