Make plans to join the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington virtually on Thursday, April 8th at 6:00 p.m. for the annual event SMART Girls, STRONG Women (Presented By: Comprehensive Financial Consultants)!

This will truly be “An Evening of Empowerment” as we share remarkable stories of overcoming the odds. We hope you join us for this unique and heart-felt event from the comfort of your own home as the Club attempts to raise the necessary funds that will enable our continuous effort to provide world-class programming to our young Club girls.

This year, we are so excited to welcome Mona Dixon as our keynote speaker! Mona is a Boys & Girls Club alum and was named the 2010-2011 National Youth of the Year recipient. From a cardboard box to the White House, Mona will share her miraculous story that began with humbled beginnings as she was homeless and living on the streets until the age of 13. Just four years later, she was standing in the Oval Office being named a Presidential Appointee by President Obama. Additionally, Mona was named one of the “Most Influential Black Women” by Essence Magazine alongside former First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey. Mona credits the Boys & Girls Club with changing her life!

Virtual tickets are $40.00 each, and will be available online (https://bgcbloomington.org/sgsw/) starting Monday, March 1st!

100 Cooks Who Care
2025-02-22 18:00 - 21:00 | Monroe Convention Center, 302 S. College Ave., Bloomington, IN, 47403, United States
Imagine 100 of Bloomington’s most notable people (bankers, attorneys, physicians, educators, and business leaders from every endeavor, or anyone who is well known to the public) retreating into their respective kitchens to concoct their favorite dish. After a careful and loving preparation, the chef creatively decorates his serving station, dons his favorite costume in an effort to entice the crowd of friends, family, and fellow community members to take a nibble of their specialty cuisine. The prize: The Top Chef award and bragging rights for the next year!
The Top Chef award is really based on who raises the most money for the beneficiary through “tips” collected, or any other fundraising efforts the chefs can dream up. Did I mention bragging rights?
For the $75 per person admission price, guests at 100 Cooks Who Care will be treated to local wine, craft beer, spirits as well as a cash bar, a chance to bid on and possibly win a variety of silent auction items, and all the usual offerings of a non-profit fundraiser in a much more relaxed, carefree atmosphere. At this event they will also have 100 different food options for their tasting pleasure, all while enjoying one of the most extraordinary social events of the year!
Proceeds from 100 Cooks Who Care will benefit The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington and Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana.
