Youth First Celebrates 20th Anniversary

Youth First has been strengthening youth and families for 20 years, and has big plans to celebrate this milestone. The organization held a ribbon cutting at their headquarters today to kick off the festivities.

Youth First will host the Edward Jones Emerald Gala on April 21st at the Tropicana, which will include a formal dinner, dancing, and an anniversary edition of Youth First’s Passport to Adventure auction.

Carol Lynch, Youth First Board Member, said, “Lots of people dream, but not everybody’s dream becomes a reality, and his dream became a reality. This community, the businesses, the schools, many, many people came on board and said you know I think that’s a pretty neat dream and I want to be a part of it. So we’re celebrating that.”

There will also be an auction preview and awards reception on April 19th, where the winners of this year’s Don Mattingly Youth Award and the Carol Lynch Advocate of Youth First Award will be named.
