Wayne youth organization to honor retiring CEO

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey is hosting its Cheers to the Years Gala this November.

The gala will include a cocktail hour, an open bar throughout the evening, a three-course dinner, a silent auction, live music, and dancing. The organization will also honor Joseph Lynch, who is retiring as CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey after 35 years of service.

The gala will support the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey, which includes the Boys and Girls Clubs of Wayne and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Pequannock. These clubs run programs for more than 6,000 young people each year. The Wayne club runs a licensed Early Education Center, after-school programs for elementary and middle schoolers, travel and recreational sports teams, and a Vacation Club that provides childcare when local public schools are closed.

Gala tickets are $230 per person. Sponsorship opportunities ranging from $1,750 to $20,000 are available. Sponsor benefits include gala tickets and ads in the event journal. Ads and tribute pages are also available separately. Prices range from $150 to $1,000 depending on size, placement and color. Event planners often use printing services to make this type of event journal.

The Cheers to the Years Gala will be on Friday, November 20 at 6:30 pm at Westmount Country Club.
