Country star Justin Moore to perform Oct. 20 for Boys & Girls Club fundraiser

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Saline County will host its 14th annual fundraiser, “Justin Moore’s Night Where Leaders Begin” presented by Everett Buick GMC, on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, at the Riverside Club in Benton. The community event will feature dinner, auctions, youth leadership recognitions, and an exclusive live performance by country music star Justin Moore to support local youth programming. Read more below.

Doors are scheduled to open at 5:00 p.m. at the Riverside Club in Benton. Attendees will have access to dinner, silent auction bidding, and pre-program activities before the main stage events begin.

This year’s theme, “Where Leaders Begin,” celebrates mentors, educators, and community members who help shape local youth. The program will recognize former Youth of the Year recipients and highlight Sawyer Crawford, a Benton High School graduate named the 2026 Jeff Mattingly Foundation Youth of the Year.

The fundraiser is also introducing a new interactive element called the “Club Spirit Games.” Local community figures and special guests will participate in lighthearted challenges to compete for the title of Club Games Champion. Attendees can support their favorite competitors by purchasing charitable raffle chances, with proceeds funding the Gateway to Great Futures Scholarship Fund for local families. One participating raffle ticket holder will be drawn to win a $1,000 cash prize.

The evening will conclude with a live concert by Moore, a Grand Ole Opry member and longtime supporter of the organization.
