Boys and Girls Club of Miami Dade

Supporters of the Boys & Girls Club of Miami Dade will be some of the first to sail on Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Cruise Line’s yet-to-launch ship as part of this year’s Wild About Kids Gala taking place on November 16-17, 2019. The Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade supports youth from low income families and single parent households by providing safe and nurturing activities such as after-school programs, summer school, and sports league services.

The 13th annual “Wild About Kids” Gala will include an overnight sailing and access to Norwegian’s signature attractions such as the Speedway, its two-level go-kart race track; the Galaxy Pavilion, its more than 10,000-square-foot indoor virtual reality complex; and its open-air laser tag arena, designed as the resurrected lost city of Atlantis. Attendees will also enjoy a variety of first-rate entertainment including a performance of “Kinky Boots,” the Tony Award®-winning musical, which will be the headlining act on Norwegian Encore.

The “Wild About Kids” Gala is co-chaired by Norwegian Cruise Line President and CEO Andy Stuart and his wife Allison Stuart, both avid supporters of Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade. The goal of this year’s event is to double the attendance of last year’s gala and raise over $1.5 million. Every cent of the proceeds raised from sponsorship sales and cruise revenue from this monumental event will fund crucial Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade programs which help children realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

"This year's 'Wild About Kids' Gala is the hottest ticket in town," said Andy Stuart. "Taking place on our brand new billion-dollar ship which sets sail on her first revenue cruise after this epic Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade fundraising celebration, the gala provides attendees access to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity while doing a world of good for thousands of local children. I implore both loyal and first-time Boys & Girls Club supporters to take part in this truly meaningful experience!"
