Gratitude for a Brighter Future!
Thanks to your generosity, we raised vital funds to continue our mission of helping youth. These funds will provide crisis intervention, suicide prevention, mental health counseling, and a safe, nurturing home—always at no cost to those we serve.
The vision for our 2025 BridgeWay to a Brighter Future Gala came to life through the dedication of our incredible chairs—Evan Berlin, Shannon Regan, and Amber Scheer—and our outstanding Gala Committee. We are deeply grateful for their passion and commitment in creating such a memorable evening.
Your support changes lives. To see the impact, arrange a shelter visit by emailing development@youthmc.org or become a Difference Maker at sayyestoyouth.org/difference-makers. Experience firsthand how your generosity transforms futures.
Thank you for joining us and standing with youth in crisis. We look forward to seeing you at future events and continuing this vital work together.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Michele Kooken
Chief Executive Officer
