On April 16, 2026, we welcomed our community to The Valley Regency for our annual Great Futures Gala. The evening brought together supporters, students, educators, and partners to celebrate our Club youth and the relationships that make our work possible.
This year, we proudly honored the Clifton Board of Education and Corradino & Partners LLC for their lasting impact on the young people and families we serve.
Honoring Corradino & Partners LLC
We also recognized Corradino & Partners LLC for decades of dedication to the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton and the broader community.
Their support has touched every part of our organization, from sponsoring events to providing essential resources like transportation, equipment, and holiday donations for our families. Their commitment extends throughout Clifton, supporting local organizations, schools, and families in meaningful ways.
Corradino & Partners continues to lead by example through consistent community involvement and generosity. We thank them for their enduring support of our mission and our Club kids.

Honoring the Clifton Board of Education
For decades, the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton has partnered with Clifton Public Schools in a collaboration that supports students and working families across the city.
Together, we provide a safe, supportive environment for more than 600 young people in school-based programs each day, while also welcoming over 300 children to our main Clubhouse. For many, the Club is a natural extension of the school day where they build relationships, gain confidence, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
Through this partnership, we deliver programs focused on Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. We are proud to continue this work alongside the Clifton Board of Education and value the strength of this long-standing partnership.
