“We are thrilled to chair this year’s Boys & Girls Club Benefit Auction. Bringing the spirit of The Big Easy to Santa Clarita is all about showcasing some of the same Mardi Gras values our community shares. Key Big Easy themes such as ‘everyone is welcome’, ‘come as you are’ along with the delightful, ‘let the good times roll’ messaging will be center stage in our celebration. But this event is more than just a night of celebration—it’s an opportunity for our community to come together and support the incredible programs that empower local youth. Every bid, every donation, and every moment shared at the auction helps create a brighter future for the kids who need us most. We can’t wait to see everyone on May 31st for an unforgettable evening.” Said Jeffrey and Di Thompson, event chairs of The Big Easy Auction.
