Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale will host its 2026 Celebrate Youth Gala: An Evening With All Stars on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the newly renovated Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort promising a dazzling night of inspiration and impact. The highly anticipated event will unite the Valley’s most influential business and community leaders to celebrate the youth whose futures are being transformed through BGCS programs that develop Arizona’s next generation of leaders.

Chaired by community philanthropists and BGCS Board Members Marianne Guenther and Todd McEvilly, the event will shine a spotlight on the extraordinary journeys of BGCS Youth of the Year finalists, along with other standout Club members whose talents, stories, and personalities will make this year’s program both moving and memorable.

Guests will enjoy an evening that blends heartfelt storytelling with world-class entertainment. Emmy Award-winning ESPN journalist Michael Wilbon will serve as Master of Ceremonies, bringing his signature energy and storytelling to guide guests through an inspiring, fun evening. Known for its dynamic live auction and production excellence, the Celebrate Youth Gala also features acclaimed “auctiontainer” Letitia Frye, who will lead spirited bidding along with a paddle raise benefiting BGCS programs.

Proceeds support BGCS programs that help more than 6,000 youth annually build confidence, character, and leadership skills through safe, enriching experiences.
