Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate our 27th annual Valentine’s Gala,, a magical journey to Neverland and our largest fundraiser supporting almost 2,000 young lives across 12 Club sites in Chico, Hamilton City, Magalia, Oroville, Paradise, and Juvenile Hall.

This enchanting night is more than a fundraiser – it’s a celebration of hope, heart, and impact. Inspired by the wonder of Neverland, we’ll gather to champion the dreams, potential, and possibilities of local youth. Your sponsorship directly supports local youth and helps build brighter futures.

You will experience the magic firsthand with a behind-the-scenes tour and program showcase at our Ostrander Clubhouse, guided by Club members and staff. Meet the incredible youth whose lives are being transformed through your support and hear from our inspiring North Valley Youth of the Year, whose story will remind us all what becomes possible when a community believes in its kids.

Evening Highlights Include:

  • Champagne reception and passed hors d’oeuvres
  • Live music and a fun photo booth
  • Plated dinner with two bottles of wine per table and a cash bar
  • Handcrafted desserts made by our talented Club youth
  • Bids for Kids – Fund a Future! to directly support scholarships
  • Live Dessert & Club Experiences Auction

The journey to Neverland begins with you. Join the adventure. Change a life.
