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 and 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 the oldest continuing social event and charitable benefit in Arlington. The first ball was held in 1961, and the event was so successful in raising badly needed revenues for the Arlington Boys’ Clubs that the Board of Directors voted to make the Ball an annual project.
The Ladies’ Auxiliary was formed in 1967 and assumed the role of producing the Cinderella Charity Ball. Although the Auxiliary performs many services for the club, the Ball is still its major annual project. The Cinderella Charity Ball provides additional resources to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County branches in Arlington for capital improvements to facilities and major operational expenditures. Proceeds from the Ball have allowed the Boys & Girls Clubs to provide the best in physical surroundings and program equipment. Major investments have been made in vehicles, office equipment, scholarships, the addition of the boxing gym at the Main Branch, the completion of the Southeast Branch building in 1981, the addition of the basketball gym in 1996, and the Kromer Branch in 1998. All of the money collected by the candidates for the Cinderella Ball (after expenses) is used directly on projects which benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs in Arlington.
The 2022 Cinderella Ball pushed the total money over $14,000,000 raised for the Boys & Girls Clubs in Arlington. We welcome applications from young ladies who wish to work together to achieve this.
Thank you for your support!
