Be a Champion for Club Kids!

Champions of Youth is more than an event - it’s a celebration of OUR youth and the community that believes in them.

For 155 years, our community has made those moments possible. For generations, young people have walked through our doors and found more than a Club.

They’ve found mentors who believed in them, opportunities that inspired them, friendships that supported them, and a place where they could belong.

Come celebrate 155 years of profound impact on Greater New Haven’s youth, and the people who continue to make it possible!

On November 5th, we’ll come together for Champions of Youth 2026 to celebrate that legacy with:

• Great food & drinks
• Signature cocktail
• Notable Club alumni
• Local honorees
• Live auction, raffles, and giveaways
