About this Event
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Toledo Newsboys Winter Gala, where we proudly celebrate the achievements of outstanding youth across Northwest Ohio. This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, November 18th at 6:00 PM at The Premier Banquet Facility. Tickets are $55 per person and include a buffet dinner and access to a cash bar.
In partnership with the Ray Kest Scholarship Foundation, we’ll honor our scholarship winners and recognize exceptional student-athletes who exemplify resilience, character, and excellence on and off the field.
Our keynote speaker is Sam Demma—an award-winning keynote speaker, best-selling author, and entrepreneur who inspires people to make a meaningful difference through small, consistent actions. Known for his high-energy storytelling and practical message, Sam has spoken to audiences around the world, helping leaders, educators, and organizations strengthen their impact and create lasting change. Now, he brings that energy and message to Northwest Ohio.
Come be inspired, encouraged, and reminded of the power of community support and the bright future of our youth. This is more than a celebration—it’s a call to keep showing up, lifting others, and believing in the next generation.
