This weekend is a celebration of Sedalia’s generous nature, with the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s annual “An Evening of Heart & Hope” auction on Saturday and Friday’s Sedalia-Pettis County United Way awards luncheon.
We are confident the Boys & Girls Clubs event will be a smashing success again this year, with the great help of Central Bank of Missouri, which has signed on as the title sponsor. The event raised more than $140,000 last year, as a continuing testament to its important role in the community, and may surpass that total this time.
