Dear Friends,
At YES to YOUTH, we believe that no matter a child’s past, their future can still be filled with hope.
Every day, we walk alongside young people who have experienced abuse, neglect, instability, and loss, circumstances no child should ever face. Through the BridgeWay Shelter and the dedicated, compassionate care of our staff, these children find safety, stability, and the encouragement they need to begin again. Beyond the shelter, our four community-based counseling centers provide critical therapy and support for children and families, helping them heal, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.
This year’s gala theme, Every Child Deserves an Ever After, reflects the promise at the heart of our Mission: that with the right support, each child can heal, grow, and imagine a brighter story for themselves.
We invite you to join us on Saturday, August 8th, at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center for the YES to YOUTH Gala as we come together to champion children in crisis and celebrate the futures made possible through community generosity.
Your partnership, through underwriting or sponsorship, directly fuels life-saving services and allows us to expand our reach to more youth and families who urgently need help. We are deeply grateful for your consideration and for the compassion you bring to this work.
With heartfelt appreciation,
