Sparking Hope for Foster Youth 2024
The Youth Homes community sure does know how to party!
To say Sparking Hope for Foster Youth was a “fun night” would be an understatement – it was truly magical. Thank you to Doze Home Brew Club for fueling our opening happy hour (in addition to some delightful local wines) as we mingled with friends, old and new, and explored the incredible raffle prizes. Just know we’re jealous of all you beach vacationing, wine tasting, sports event attending winners!
Forno di Sbarro satisfied our taste buds for dinner, followed by some delectable desserts from Love + Chocolate, CCC Culinary Academy, and Stacy’s Sweets and Treats. As we enjoyed it all, it was such a pleasure to share the mission of Youth Homes with a community who we know cares about our youth as much as we do.
The real highlight of our night came next when a former client spoke about how Youth Homes changed her life. We got to hear about her transformation from feeling lost and anxious with little family support to healthy and thriving at school, at work, and in her personal life. She especially thanked her Youth Homes therapist and life-skills coach, saying that she wouldn’t be where she is today without them. We are so deeply impressed by this young person and so grateful that she was able to join us for this incredible night.
Special shoutout to all of our amazing volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you!
The night continued with more fundraising, more delicious beverages, and more valued time with our community. We ended the night with a wildly fun performance by Shana Morrison & Caledonia that had us dancing until our feet got tired.
To you, our amazing friends - thank you for showing up. Your generosity spans lifetimes, as the hope you’ve helped to spark in our youth will continue to benefit them every single day.
Thank you to our partners:
