Steak n' Burger Dinner Registration

Some people were skeptical when J. W. “Bill” Brakebill of Memphis proposed a fundraising event where adults paid to eat hamburgers while dining with Boys & Girls Club members who eat steaks!

That first dinner in 1972 helped balance the budget and kept the Clubs operating. This original idea caught on in a big way and now Steak n’ Burger Dinners are held by Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide.

Over the years, our Club kids have enjoyed great steaks. Between bites, they have told us about the good, clean fun they have had at their Clubs. Those who have attended Steak n’ Burger Dinners have literally watched these young people become productive, responsible and caring citizens in their community.  

Generous supporters like you recognize that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis is an investment in our future by purchasing burgers...tens of thousands of them. Over the past 38 years this event has raised more than $6.1 million, supporting over 5,000 youth annually in the Memphis community.

On March 11, 2010, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis celebrated its 39th Annual Steak n’ Burger Dinner. Our Keynote Speaker was a Boys & Girls Club Alumnus and the runner-up NBA Rookie of the Year, O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Again, we like to thank all the sponsors, individuals and volunteers who made this night very special for our Club members.  Because of your support and generosity, we raised over $251,000 for the clubs.

We hope that you will join us next year!
