In accordance with guidance from the Hamilton County Health Department, the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville’s leadership has made the decision that events and activities beyond the after-school program will be postponed until further notice.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, BGCN is taking precautions and doing everything possible to keep Club Kids, staff and patrons protected from its spread. As a result, this weekend’s Basketball Spectacular and Auxiliary Auction have both been postponed to later dates.
“The Auxiliary Auction appreciates the overwhelming community support for this year’s event, and it is with the safety of our supporters and our civic responsibility in mind to postpone our Annual Auction scheduled for this Saturday. Our event sponsors, Community Health Network and Harbour Trees have joined us in our decision to reschedule,” said Auxiliary President Kim Hirschfeld. “Harbour Trees has generously offered to host the event, tentatively for June 13, to coincide with the grand re-opening of the Beach Club, featuring their new Crow’s Nest Event Space, so save your green ShamRock attire and plan on joining us for a Lucky Night Under the Stars. We will be the first group to break in this beautiful space and raise funds for Club Kids.”
Because the Club still has an immediate need for funding, select silent auction items are currently open for bidding at one.bidpal.net/bgcn20. The silent auction will remain open until 10 p.m. this Saturday. Supporters are invited to sit down with your device in the comforts of your own home and bid away to raise funds for the Club.
A Fund-A-Need will also take place to support the Club’s Transportation Program. Donations over $100 will enter supporters into a drawing for the .75 carat white gold, solitaire diamond necklace donated by Smith’s Jewelers, which will be drawn for at the June event.

In addition, the Club has made the decision to postpone the annual Basketball Spectacular that was scheduled to take place at Noblesville High School on Saturday. The event has tentatively been rescheduled for Saturday, May 9 at the NHS gymnasium.
“We’re thankful for all of our generous league and event sponsors, especially our Title Sponsor, Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, but our number one priority is the safety of our players and coaches,” said BGCN Sports Director Tony Eslamirad. “It is our goal to host the event in the future to celebrate our players’ achievements and recognize league players for their full season of hard work.”
