The Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield is hosting its 26th Annual Steak & Steak Dinner on April 7th at University Plaza. NFL champion Rob Gronkowski is the guest of honor to help support a mission that reaches nearly 6,000 local youth every year. Grace sat down with Amber Alcorn to talk about how this massive night fuels a “home away from home” for our community’s kids.
What is a “Steak & Steak” Dinner? 🥩 The name is a fun nod to the event’s history. It originally started as “Steak & Burger,” where the club kids got the fancy steak while the adult donors ate burgers! Now, everyone enjoys a steak dinner as we celebrate the club’s impact and hear from inspiring members like this year’s “Youth of the Year,” Emilee.
More Than Just a Meal This event is a full-blown party. Attendees can jump into a football shot competition for a chance to compete with Gronk on stage, enter a diamond giveaway sponsored by Justice Jewelers, or bid in the live auction. Last year, this dinner raised over $265,000 to help shrink the club’s waitlist and fund essential programs in the arts, education, and health.
How to Join the Fun 🎉 Tickets and table sponsorships are still available on the club’s website. For the ultimate fan experience, there is a VIP upgrade that includes a personal meet-and-greet and a professional photo with Rob Gronkowski. If you can’t make the dinner, you can still support their upcoming summer and back-to-school supply drives.
