Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is YC's largest fundraiser.  The goal of the Annual Fund, Embrace the Challenge, is $140,000 to benefit general operations at Youth Challenge.  Your support helps to continue sports and recreational opportunities for children with physical disabilities.

Sponsorships

In 2009 Youth Challenge lifted program fees for all participants.  Youth Challenge secures funds from individuals, businesses and organizations to support participants, volunteers and programs.  Sponsorships are used for the participants' program costs and directly impact their lives and their families.  The standard cost to sponsor a participant for one year is $1,500.  Donations of smaller or larger sizes are also appreciated.
