As many of you know, I have served on the Board of Directors for The Youth Center for over three decades. People often ask me why I've stayed involved for so long. The answer is simple: I've seen firsthand how a safe place, a mentor, and a supportive program can change the entire trajectory of a child's life. 

When I started 30 years ago, the world looked very different. Today, our youth face new challenges, but the need for community and belonging remains the same. 

I am writing to ask you to join me in supporting our mission. We offer some amazing programs, as you can see below. Our goal is to make our programs accessible to every child, regardless of their financial situation. 

Will you join me with any gift you feel comfortable with today?

💛 Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
