The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson are hosting “The EVENT” at La Encantada from 6 – 9 p.m. on Sunday, March 24.
The EVENT, presented by Nova Home Loans, celebrates its 18th year featuring premiere tastings from 50 of Tucson’s finest restaurants, mouthwatering libations, stellar entertainment, and dancing under the stars.
And the most important part? It’s all to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson.
Every year, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson create a safe after-school environment, with caring staff and quality programs, for children between the ages of 7 and 18. The organization pays hundreds of dollars to support each child annually and can do so with the support of our community.
Over 1,800 people are expected to attend The EVENT 2019, with proceeds aiming to help 9,000 members in the local clubhouses.
Tickets are $150 a person and you must be 21 and over to attend.

Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the event and are $20 each or 6 for $100.
Live music by Bill Shaw Jr Band and Backroads will be your entertainment for the evening — sway, dance, eat, drink, and give back all at once.
