Boys & Girls Clubs’ Diamond Gala
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast’s Diamond Gala, “Continuing the Legacy of Helping Kids Shine,” was held at the Vinoy
Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort. The fundraiser’s keynote speaker was NFL Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Reed, who attributes
much of his success to having been a member of the Boys and Girls Clubs when he was a youngster. Since 1959, the Boys and
Girls Clubs have served thousands of young people in Pinellas County, helping to shape their lives and to enhance their futures.
