Be Great Ball is our signature fundraising gala–an inspiring evening that celebrates our Club members and rallies the community behind our young people as future leaders. The night features moving youth stories (including Youth of the Year highlights), honors community champions, and raises critical funds through a live auction and paddle raise.

Proceeds power our Life & Career Readiness work—everything from Career Exploration, Financial Empowerment, and STEAM to Sport & Play and essential wraparound supports—so more kids across the Portland metro area can access safe spaces, caring mentors, and life-changing opportunities.

Who attends: corporate partners, civic leaders, alumni, and friends of BGCP.

How to get involved: sponsor a table, purchase tickets, donate an auction item, or volunteer.

Join us at Be Great Ball each year to celebrate ouryouth, connect with community, and invest in Great Futures.
