We're back with our third annual Teen Holiday Giveback event, and we need YOUR support to make it even more spectacular than last year.
 

What's it all about?

The 1st Teen Holiday Giveback event was hosted in 2022 as a response to the lack of meaningful, age-appropriate gifts offered to teens at the Y’s long-standing Toys for Tots events. At the Y, we believe our teens deserve to feel excited about the gifts they receive as well! Last year, with the support of the community, the teen event was able to provide gifts to over 200 youth between ages 12-17!

This year we are back and wanting to serve even more youth! Your support in bringing this joyous, age-appropriate celebration to life would be greatly appreciated!


 

Be a Part of the Magic

You can make a difference in their lives in several ways:

  • Donate Large Raffle Prizes: Theme park tickets, zoo membesrship, gift baskets, etc.
  • Gift Cards: Apple, Google Play, Roblox, and favorite food places.
  • Monetary Gifts: Your monetary gifts will be thoughtfully used to purchase gifts and supplies, ensuring every teen has a memorable holiday.

 

We are very excited to bring this event back this year and we hope to make the event even bigger AND better! We are hoping to serve 500 youth this year!

More Ways to Make an Impact

Don't miss the chance to be part of something extraordinary:

  • Volunteer: Be the guiding light that brings this event to life!
  • Host a Donation Table:  Individual/programs looking to host a donation table will be asked to bring 200-300 items to give away in their “store” (hygiene items, self-care, t-shirts etc.) The event is run like an outdoor market where youth can “shop” items at each table.
  • Host a Fundraiser: Individuals/programs who would like to contribute to the goods being donated can host a fundraiser or drive to collect items and donate those to the event.


To volunteer, host a fundraiser or host a donation table, please email Tiana Hopkins to sign up by October 1, 2024!

Thank you for being a part of our Teen Holiday Giveback event. Together, we will make this holiday season extraordinary for every teen, one gift and smile at a time!
