Happy New Year
Thanks for a great 2012!
I love the start of a new year and all the promise it holds. On behalf of all of us at YES, I promise you we'll continue to do all we can to serve as a lifeline for Eastside children and their families.
And now our attention turns to our Invest in Youth Breakfast, which supports uncompensated care and underfunded programs. I invite you to learn more at breakfast and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, March 19, at the Meydenbauer Center.
We finished 2012 with a flourish. Thanks to you, our Light a Spark campaign at the end of the year helped us to exceed our fundraising goals. And thanks to the generosity of our Adopt-a-Family sponsors, nearly 100 local families were able to enjoy the traditions of the holiday season. Individual families, neighborhood associations, schools, small business and large corporations alike gave generously to this program. While they participated with no expectation for recognition, I would like to mention the organizations that supported us.
