On Tuesday, May 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Boys & Girls Clubs of South Alabama will host our annual Youth of the Year Luncheon. This signature national initiative celebrates exceptional young people who have overcome obstacles and demonstrated leadership, character, and meaningful service to their Clubs and communities.  

We are honored to welcome guest speaker Darryl C. Gaines, a Mobile native and NASA leader with more than 30 years of experience in space programs. From his journey in the NFL to helping lead efforts to return science and technology to the moon, Mr. Gaines brings a powerful message of perseverance, opportunity, and giving back - one you won't want to miss.

Table sponsorships are available for $1,500 and include lunch for eight guests. Additional sponsorship opportunities are also available, offering a variety of ways to support and invest in the success of our youth.

For more information about the 2026 Youth of the Year Luncheon or available sponsorship opportunities, please contact Alycia Young at 251-432-1235 or ayoung@bgcsouthal.org.
