On Friday, March 27th, more than 300 community members came together at Flutes & Flavors 2026 for a night of fabulous fun, movie magic, and incredible impact! Attendees enjoyed delicious bites and sips from 26 local businesses, danced to DJ music, bid on unique auction experiences, and even caught glimpses of movie stars from Old Hollywood's past.
But the real star of the show wasn't the photo booth, or an appearance by Charlie Chaplin - it was seeing so many people come together to support the 623 kids and teens we serve each year, raising a total of over $85,000! All proceeds will help provide financial aid and scholarships to local youth while sustaining our life-changing programs.
In 2025, the West Springfield Boys & Girls Club served 623 members across five sites in West Springfield, employed 55 dedicated staff members, enrolled 66 teens in evening Drop-In and Open Gym programs, and provided $117,969 in financial aid and scholarships. This ensures that every child in our community has access to high-quality before and after-school care, mentorship, trusted adult connections, and opportunities that open doors for the future, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
None of this would be possible without the funds raised from events like Flutes & Flavors - and Flutes & Flavors would not have been possible without the fantastic sponsors, vendors, auction prize donors, volunteers and guests who came together to make this night one to remember! Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket, bid on an auction prize, or supported the event in any way - and please enjoy the picture gallery below!
