2020 Virtual Dashaway Luncheon

Join us on November 18th (11:45 am start) for the 2020 Virtual Dashaway Luncheon to benefit SMART Girls, a health, life skills and empowerment program from girls (ages 8-18). As we celebrate the 160th anniversary of the founding of the nation’s first Club, the Dashaway Club in Hartford in 1860, this luncheon and the legacy of the four women who started the Boys & Girls Clubs movement means more than ever.

With lead sponsorship from Eversource, this year’s event will feature a keynote address from Dr. Joanne Berger-Sweeney, President of Trinity College in Hartford. Additionally, you’ll hear the inspirational story of our Clubs’ SMART Girl of the Year.

About SMART Girls: SMART Girls helps young girls discovering their self-worth, build their self-esteem, make good decision and set future goals. That’s even more important today as our young girls grapple with the social, emotional and financial impact of Covid-19 and issues of racial and social justice. That’s why your support of the Dashaway Luncheon and SMART Girls matters.
