“Without the Boys & Girls Club, none of that is possible,” Bane said during a question-and-answer session at the event. “That was my spot where I hung out after school, shooting pool and playing hoops.” The Smart Futures Dinner also included a performance by club members, Bane’s honoree speech and an auction. Among the auction items were autographed basketballs provided by BSN Sports and signed prints provided by Primex Plastics.
