What is the One Love event?

It is a fundraiser that brings in money for the One Love Needs & Scholarship Fund at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington. Your ticket will include dinner with choice of main dish, multiple sides, salad and desert. There will be a cash bar. Two bands will play - JustinCase and Jeff Shew and the Late Night Crew. There will be a guessing game, silent auction, and other ways to donate throughout the night. Doors open at 5pm. Dinner buffet opens at 5:30pm. Bands begin at 7pm.

What is the One Love Fund?

Often, children the Club serves need items that they cannot get easily or affordably elsewhere - clothing, shoes, coats, school items, toiletries, books, toys, and other things children should have. This fund allows staff to have discretion on how to help kids most in need. This fund is vital for many of our kids. We appreciate your support in keeping it funded!

The fund also provides a scholarship to a kid who has been a Club member at any time in their life. It is for continued education in any way including technical training, the trades, and certifications, not just college. It can also be used to help with employment, such as providing funds for transportation to and from interviews or work, providing funds for professional attire, or providing funds for tools or equipment needed to work a job.

What is "One Love"?

"One Love" is an expression of unity and inclusion. "One Love" means universal love and respect for all people regardless or race, religion or color.

Where do all the proceeds go?

They are all tax deductible through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington - tax ID 35-0997525. The One Love Fund is housed through the Club and supports Club kids in the ways mentioned above. All proceeds raised go to this specific One Love Fund.
