Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area (BGCAA) hosted its annual Great Futures Spring Luncheon at the Four Seasons. The event raised $185,350 to expand BGCAA programs and serve even more Austin youth.
Attendees were treated to a keynote address by Vic Schaefer, the esteemed head coach of The University of Texas at Austin’s women’s basketball team. Schaefer, 2025 SEC Coach of the Year, recently led his team to a Final Four appearance in the NCAA tournament. During his keynote, Schaefer shared valuable insights on leadership, teamwork, and success, providing inspiration and perspective for attendees.
Brian Jones – CBS sports analyst, longtime BGCAA supporter, former Longhorn and NFL player – served as emcee for the event, engaging and entertaining attendees throughout the program. BGCAA CEO Zenae Campbell also delivered remarks, highlighting the incredible achievements of Club youth and the dedicated leaders who support them.
“Each year, our Great Futures Spring Luncheon celebrates the power of leadership and the unique ways our Clubs provide safe, supportive spaces for kids to be who they are, strengthen their skills and realize their full potential in the classroom, in athletics and in life,” said Campbell. “Much more than a meal, this luncheon underscores, underwrites, and rallies support for BGCAA’s mission and our Club youth. We are so grateful for our partners and the community for joining us here, and in our ongoing work.”
