Preparing for YR Day

youthresourcesNo CommentsUncategorized

The preparation is underway leading up to Youth Resources’ annual YR Day celebration on November 7, 2020! Youth Resources hosted its first YR Day in 2017, surpassing its initial fundraising goal. YR’s goal is to raise $30,000 this year in order to provide funds and supplies for YR’s four youth-led leadership programs. Throughout this celebration, you can find NINE different teams to donate to, ranging from TAC members to YR Alumni! 

This year is different due to the limitations COVID-19 has inflicted on Youth Resources other annual fundrasising events, including the Hall of Fame and the Fall Festival. Thankfully, the format of YR Day is primarily celebrated online this year, meaning many organizational tactics needed to be reviewed and discussed in order to reach YR’s fundraising goals!

Students, parents, alumni, and others involved in YR have attended multiple online informational sessions in order to have maximum success throughout their fundraisers.

Now here’s how you can help us reach our $30,000 goal!
