Diamond Night event raises money for Boys & Girls Town

Football games and formal attire don’t usually go together, but they did when the Diamond Night fundraiser took place on the same night as the Missouri Tigers game against Texas Tech.

Guests watched the game on a giant projection screen after dinner and held an auction during breaks in the game on Nov. 6. Proceeds will benefit the children at Boys & Girls Town of Columbia. The organization says its services at the local campus touch the lives of more than 4,000 children and family members annually.
