BGCSA Youth Of The Year Dinner Announced

The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Alabama (BGCSA) Youth of the Year Dinner celebrating outstanding teens is scheduled for May 22 at the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel. A reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., and the program will begin at 6 p.m. The program will recognize and celebrate children and youth and provide a platform to showcase their skills, share their stories and inspire others. Honorees are selected from the traditional BGCSA clubs based on submitting a completed application, recommendations and interviews with community leaders. It also serves as the nonprofit’s main fundraising event and an opportunity for the public and business community to learn about the impact of BGCSA. Speaker, bestselling author and popular youth motivational thought leader Jesse LeBeau will deliver the keynote address. BGCSA says LeBeau is one of the world’s premiere basketball trick artists and is regularly featured on TV, film and international tours. In 2017, he started The Attitude is Everything Foundation as a resource for young people to have ongoing support throughout their teenage years.
