52nd Annual Salesian Gala
The Salesian Boys’ & Girls’ Club proudly invites you to the 52nd Annual Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating community, generosity, and the transformative impact of youth development in San Francisco.
This year, we are honored to recognize Kevin and Denise Cassin for their longstanding commitment and support of the Club’s mission. Their leadership and dedication have helped ensure that generations of young people have access to a safe, structured, and inspiring environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
Join us on April 11, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the historic Westin St. Francis in San Francisco for an elegant evening featuring cocktails, dinner, program remarks, and opportunities to directly support the children and families served by the Club.
Proceeds from the Gala directly fund academic support, athletics, arts, leadership development, and after-school programming for youth throughout our community.
Your presence and partnership make this work possible.
