The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties saddled up for its annual Steak & Burger celebration event at the Lee Wetherington Club on Feb. 3.

Guests dressed up in their most country cowboy attire for the annual Youth of the Year celebration that started with light bites and mingling before it was time to fill the Lee Wetherington event space for the event.  

The audience heard from Boys and Girls Clubs president and CEO Bill Sadlo before the 2023 Youth of the Year was declared.
