Story

First off, I want to thank you. Through this campaign, we are working to ensure a brighter future for the Valley of the Sun. Your support will help young people achieve their potential, empower community members of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of the families in our neighborhood.

At the Y, we believe in empowering Arizona's youth through civic engagement activities. That's why we're proud to offer the Arizona Youth and Government program, which has provided hands-on leadership training for over 75 years. Every December, our student delegates get to experience what it's like to sit in an elected leader's seat and run a mock legislative session. These future leaders work tirelessly for months in advance to prepare bills, newspaper articles, and court cases for this capstone event.

We know that cost shouldn't be a barrier to participating in these transformative experiences. That's why we're asking you to consider sponsoring a seat. For just $400, you can help provide access to these fantastic students, who are the future of our great state. Your tax-deductible contribution will make a real difference in the lives of these young leaders, and we're grateful for your support.

Please join me in giving today through the Y to support these families. It would be an enormous help and encouragement to others.

Thank you!
