Boys & Girls Club
A piano prodigy, William Joseph was awarded a full music scholarship at age 8 from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County will hold their much anticipated 9th Annual Benefit at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island on Saturday, February 13. This year’s theme will be the Sweetheart Gala to coincide with Valentine’s Day. The gala will feature a live performance by pianist William Joseph, whose talent was honed through a scholarship awarded by Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

With over 145 items being offered, the chance of finding that sweetheart deal is just a few clicks away. Unique items included in this year’s auction are memorabilia such as the Eagles autographed electric guitar signed by Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner, Don Felder, and Glenn Frye. Exquisite pieces of jewelry will offered by Fernandina’s family owned Robison Jewelers, perfect for oneself or that special person. Also, offered will be local artist paintings and prints, private estate wine and trips to exciting places and much, much more.

You will have the opportunity to check out a complete list of fantastic items, along with placing and monitoring your bids by using your cell phone, iPad, tablet or computer.
