2024 Match Fundraiser

 

We have an exciting opportunity that we have never had before and may never have again. ​

There is a group of generous donors that are willing to match up to $30,000 of all funds raised over the next few weeks. We would love to raise the full $30,000 so we would have $60,000 towards helping us bring kids closer to Jesus.

In a world where kids don't feel they belong, don't have a connection, Young Life provides that for them. ​ We have leaders that give them a sense of belonging and let them know they are loved by Jesus no matter what they encounter. Young Life is a place where they are heard & welcomed.

Young Life's mission is to introduce adolescents to Jesus and help them grow in their faith.
