Premier Annual Events
At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities, we strive to create opportunities where community members can have fun, network, connect with Club youth, and make a positive impact – all while raising funds to support the overall mission of BGCTC. Throughout the year, we host four premier events that give us the chance to come together to support BGCTC programming in the areas of Academic Success, Health & Wellness, and Life & Workforce.

For over 25 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities has collaborated with local community partners across the Twin Cities during the holiday season to collect and distribute gifts to the young people we serve during the holiday season. Kids Can Give is always an exciting time at our Clubs as youth love the experience of picking out special holiday gifts to express their gratitude for parents, caregivers, siblings or other loved ones in their lives.
Since its inception in 2003, the Morrissey Hospitality Golf Classic has raised more than $600,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities. Our mission — to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens — resonated with Morrissey founder Bill Morrissey. Twenty-one years later, the next generation of Twin Cities leaders continue Buill’s support of BGCTC.
