Under the golden glow of the Los Angeles skyline, Fox Studios transformed into a beacon of hope and celebration for the 2025 Boys & Girls Clubs of America National Youth of the Year event. The evening was nothing short of magical—a beautiful convergence of purpose, passion, and star power, honoring the extraordinary achievements of young leaders from across the country.
🎬 A Star-Studded Affair
The red carpet shimmered with the presence of Hollywood royalty and sports legends. Denzel Washington, a longtime advocate for youth empowerment, shared heartfelt words about the importance of mentorship. Alex Rodriguez, co-chair of the event and a proud Boys & Girls Club alum, stood alongside Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks, both championing the transformative power of the Club’s programs.
The energy was electric as Storm Reid, rising star and role model, mingled with guests, while former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez and actor Boris Kodjoe brought charisma and encouragement to the young honorees. Comedian JB Smoove kept spirits high with his signature humor, reminding everyone that joy and resilience go hand in hand.
📸 Capturing the Magic
Amid the glitz, one lens stood out—Bruno De Witt Zanotto, representing LAMomentum, was there to immortalize the night’s most powerful moments. From candid smiles to tearful embraces, Bruno’s photography captured the heartbeat of the event: young people stepping into their greatness.
🏆 Honoring Tomorrow’s Leaders
The Youth of the Year program, now in its 75th year, is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. It celebrates teens who exemplify leadership, service, academic excellence, and healthy living. These young changemakers represent millions of Club kids nationwide, and their stories are a testament to the life-changing impact of the Boys & Girls Club.
In 2024 alone, Youth of the Year participants contributed over 73,000 volunteer hours and maintained an average GPA of 3.7—proof that when given the tools and support, young people rise.
🏘️ A Cornerstone of Community
For over 160 years, the Boys & Girls Club has been a sanctuary for youth—a place to belong, grow, and lead. In neighborhoods across America, it offers more than just after-school programs; it provides mentorship, safety, and opportunity. It’s where dreams are nurtured and futures are forged.
💙 A Night to Remember
As the curtains closed on this unforgettable evening, the message was clear: the future is bright, and it’s being shaped by the resilient, brilliant youth of the Boys & Girls Club. With the support of community leaders, celebrities, and visionaries like Bruno De Witt Zanotto, the legacy of empowerment continues—one story, one photo, one life at a time.
