2024 Sweetheart Honorees

2022 03.05 Sweetheart 060

Lyn & Dub Hay have generously contributed their time, talent, and treasure to numerous Sonoma Valley nonprofits since they first arrived in Sonoma in 1997. When asked about Lyn & Dub’s generosity, Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley President & CEO, Cary Snowden, said “Within the heartbeat of our community, our beloved Lyn & Dub, emerge as true champions of compassion and generosity. Beyond their financial support, Lyn & Dub have given a piece of their hearts to uplift our organization and, in turn, our community. They’ve not only invested their resources but also shared their time, passion, and unwavering commitment to our Club and the children and teens we serve. As we prepare to honor them at our gala in February, we celebrate the profound impact they’ve made, not just for us, but for the countless lives touched by their selfless contributions. They are true ‘Sweethearts’ of our Valley.”

Sweetheart Gala & Auction

Selling out each year, the Sweetheart Gala & Auction brings together our community for an unforgettable evening. In honor of the rich Naval history in both Lyn & Dub’s families, and as a tribute to Dub’s service as a Navy flight instructor, the theme for the 39th annual Sweetheart Gala & Auction will be Top Gun. The event will be a celebration of the work of Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley and the profound impact the organization has in the Sonoma Valley community while celebrating our honorees, their tireless work, and selfless contributions to our community. Join us for Sweetheart 2024 as we feel the need…the need to help kids succeed!

A Great Evening for a Great Cause
