About the show
The 2021 show leaned into Southern warmth at a moment when the club was glad to gather again. More than 300 women filled Avante Banquets for a daytime celebration that ran from a VIP mimosa bar straight through to a live auction. It was a beautiful return to togetherness after a challenging couple of years.
Every ticket and every sponsor dollar went to work in the community. The proceeds supported the club's grant and scholarship programs, funding the local nonprofits, students, and families that BJWC has championed for more than eighty years.
Fierce philanthropy and the simple charm of Barrington.
