Annual Gala

The club spends 9 months preparing for our largest fundraiser to raise money for the Active 20/30 Foundation. This year's theme, "Reflections" is an opportunity to reflect on the impact the Eugene Active 20-30 Club has had on the community over the past 80 years, the impact our business community has had on the children of the community through Active 20-30's projects, and reflect on all of our own dreams and hopes for the future of the children in the community. The event is a black tie dinner with a raffle, silent auction, dessert auction and live music.

Kidspree

The Ems team is our primary sponsor for this project with proceeds from their Junior Ems Club program. Thanks Ems! We also thank Target who hosts the project and also typically donates some money to help a few additional families. On the morning of the project, club members get to shop with the kids and Ems Players for back to school clothes and supplies. What a great way to give kids self-confidence on that first day of school.
