Youth of the Year Celebration

Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego will host its annual Youth of the Year Celebration, this year themed “The Future Is Bright, Wear White.”

Guests are invited to don all-white attire for an elegant evening honoring exceptional teens ages 14 to 18. The trackside event features dinner, music, and live and silent auctions, culminating in the announcement of the 2026 Youth of the Year — the organization’s highest honor recognizing leadership, service, and academic excellence. More than a celebration, the evening supports programs serving more than 14,000 local youth annually. Proceeds benefit academic support, wellness services, and leadership development initiatives. Funds raised also help provide over 151,000 free meals each year and award more than $1 million in financial aid to ensure every child has access to life-changing opportunities.
