Under the support and guidance of the Women's Board, the Office of Special Events raises significant funds by organizing a variety of events such as dances, dinners, theater benefits, fashion shows, luncheons, receptions, junior parties, bi-annual raffles and auctions. Additionally, our goal is to both encourage new people and energize current supporters to become more involved with The Boys' Club, thereby broadening and strengthening our donor base...because our children matter.

Begun in 1976 as a sincere salute to those great sports figures who have a special place in our memories, The Boys' Club of New York's All Sports Hall of Fame Dinner is the premier Sports Dinner in the country. Each year, The Boys’ Club of New York honors the achievements of the best in sport with the induction into its All Sports Hall of Fame of candidates from the world of sports executives, athletes, educators, administrators, broadcasters, journalists and recent inductees into the Baseball, Basketball, Pro Football, Hockey, Tennis and Golf Halls of Fame. Candidates are individuals who have recognized the importance of sports in contemporary American society and its influence on children as a vehicle to promote and develop character, community and civility. Inductees are honored at BCNY’s annual dinner and induction ceremony traditionally held at The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and attended by more than 80 sports celebrities and Hall of Famers and over 1,000 business, community and sports leaders. A highlight of the evening is the introduction of each of these sports celebrities in the audience as they stand in the spotlight and acknowledge the applause of their fans.
