Lights on after school
Behind every mask there is a face and behind that a story…the 2022 Chrysalis Ball Enchanted Masquerade hosted by Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County and Gala Committee did just that to unmask childhood disparities on October 15th. Guests were treated to the grandeur of a Venetian Masquerade and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with club youth greeting guests on the blue carpet. Our sincere appreciation to donors, corporate partners, and civic and community leaders for attending this soiree in support of the youth of Collin County. Your investment in the lives of young people helps us to carry out our mission to enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Presenting sponsor Ryan led the way with corporate support, with the gala raising over a million dollars, which will help fund club programs for 2023. The highlight from the live auction was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dine with Andrea Bocelli in Tuscany. All in all, it was a scintillating evening of grandeur, advocacy, and philanthropy. There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.
