Boys Town 2019 Booster Banquet Slated for April 30, Keynote Speaker Announced

Boys Town (www.BoysTown.org) is excited to announce that their annual Booster Banquet will be held on Tuesday, April 30 at the Embassy Suites — La Vista. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and program starting at 7 p.m.

Each spring at the Boys Town Booster Banquet, the community comes together to recognize Boys Town’s student-athletes and to raise funds for sports equipment, uniforms, and other necessities. The 2019 banquet features dinner, special guest speaker Bruce Bowen, and silent and live auctions. With community support, the Boosters ensure that every child who comes to Boys Town has the opportunity to play sports. This support of Boys Town athletics guarantees that our youth have an outlet where they can have fun and learn valuable life lessons.

Bowen, former San Antonio Spurs forward, is a three-time NBA Champion and an eight-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection who made a name for himself with his ability to stop the league’s best scorers. With a strong desire to help the less fortunate, especially youth and young adults, Bowen established The Bruce Bowen Foundation. His foundation is committed to supporting and enhancing the lives of youth in underserved communities, focusing on promoting programs that build character and nurture self-respect, confidence, responsibility, and camaraderie.

For 100+ years, Boys Town has been a beacon of hope for America’s children and families through its life-changing youth care and health care programs.
