Boys & Girls Club

About Boys & Girls Clubs

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County (BGCGTC) is committed to being the premier youth development organization in our community, a low-cost or free resource available to all, providing a safe and welcoming environment where children and teens are respected and valued. Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County’s mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Its purpose is simple: to enable Club members to achieve substantially better outcomes in the areas of academic success, good character, citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. Annually, BGCGTC serves more than 31,000 Tarrant County youth ages 4-24 with after-school and summer programs, substance abuse prevention programs, a progressive gang-intervention program, and targeted outreach and college preparation services in schools. Target neighborhoods are historically low income, with low educational attainment, high unemployment, and associated high rates of illegal activity, including gangs and substance abuse. The median household income in the areas the Club serves is under $35,000, and 78% of Club kids are on the free or reduced lunch program in their schools.

The Club’s very existence harkens back to 1926 when a group of compassionate and concerned citizens sought to effect positive change for youth. Since that time—through the many good times the nation has enjoyed and the challenging times it has endured—the Club has honored that legacy. The organization remains steadfast in its vision to provide a world-class Club Experience that ensures success is within reach of every young person who enters the Club doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

About The Ball

About The Cinderella Charity Ball

The Cinderella Charity Ball is Arlington’s longest-standing social event and charitable fundraiser. Established in 1961, the event was met with tremendous success, raising essential funds for the Arlington Boys Clubs. The success of this inaugural ball led the Board of Directors to designate it as an annual tradition.

In 1967, the Ladies’ Auxiliary was formed to assume the responsibility of organizing this prestigious event. While the Auxiliary plays a key role in supporting the club’s operations, the Cinderella Charity Ball continues to be its foremost and most impactful project each year.

Proceeds from the Cinderella Charity Ball provide critical resources for the Arlington branches of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County, supporting capital improvements to facilities and major operational expenditures. These funds have been integral in enhancing the clubs’ facilities and programs. Significant investments made possible through the Ball include the purchase of vehicles, office equipment, scholarships, the addition of a boxing gym at the Main Branch, the completion of the Southeast Branch building in 1981, the expansion of the basketball gym in 1996, and the opening of the Kromer Branch in 1998. In recent years, the introduction of the Mobile Clubhouse Experience has enabled the clubs to extend their programs to children beyond their Arlington locations. In 2023, the Kromer Branch completed renovations to create a Music & Youth Clubhouse, providing a space for fostering creativity and self-expression among young people. Additionally, in 2024 the Dan Serna Branch completed their renovations. All funds raised by candidates for the Cinderella Ball, after covering event expenses, are directly allocated to projects that benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County in Arlington.

Over the past 64 years, the Cinderella Charity Ball has raised over $15 million in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs in Arlington. We invite young ladies who are eager to contribute to this important cause to apply and join us in making a positive impact on the children of Arlington.

Thank you for your support!
