Why it matters: The dinner will raise critical funding to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield and more than 2,500 registered members served each year. Many of these young people come from disadvantaged circumstances and look to the Club as an important stabilizing force in their lives. The Steak & Steak Dinner helps bridge the gap between the $40 fee Club members pay each semester and the more than $1,000 it costs to provide programs to them.
Dinner History: The first Steak & Burger Dinner was held in 1997. Guest speakers from past years include: Alex Smith, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, Rick Pitino, Nick Saban, Drew Brees, Roy Williams, Bob Gibson, Coach Bob Knight, Tony Gonzales, Dick Vitale, Bill Russell, Mike Ditka, Dick Vermeil, Johnny Bench, Archie and Peyton Manning and Jackie Joyner Kersee.
