A Night to Remember: Rosa Reynoso’s Impactful Speech & This Year’s Inspiration

As we gear up for this year’s Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence Annual Auction, we can’t help but reflect on the unforgettable moments from last year’s event—especially the powerful words shared by our alumni speaker, Rosa Reynoso.

Rosa stood on that stage as a shining example of what the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence can do for young people. She spoke about the challenges she faced growing up, the obstacles that once seemed insurmountable, and the unwavering support she found at the Club. She shared how the Club became her second home—a place where mentors saw her potential, encouraged her dreams, and gave her the tools to succeed.

With passion and gratitude, she reminded us that the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence doesn’t just provide after-school programs—it transforms lives. Her story was one of perseverance, of overcoming adversity, and of using the foundation built at the Club to launch into a bright future. It was a speech that left the room in awe, with many in the audience moved to tears.

That night, our supporters were reminded why they show up, why they give, and why our mission matters.
