Steak & Burger Dinner is an annual fundraising event specially designed to bring caring community leaders and Boys & Girls Clubs’ members together for a fun filled evening. Each table is shared by adults and Club members offering the opportunity for both to share stories and experiences together. At this unique dinner, Club members are served steaks and everyone else dines on burgers.

“I am honored once again to chair this year’s Steak & Burger Dinner for Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County. The event gives the community an opportunity to connect with our Club members in a very personal way. It just takes one individual to make a difference in the lives of children, and I am proud to be one of the individuals that has committed to this organization,” said Analisa Warring, Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County Board member and Steak & Burger Dinner Committee Chairperson.

“We have a dynamic speaker slated to really impact those in attendance. Plus, what’s better than eating a great burger next to a kid eating steak for the first time!”
