Young
Life is self supporting from the local communities. (Charlottesville,
Albemarle County, Madison and Greene Counties). The total annual
budget for Fiscal year 2000-2001 was: $154,000. This includes
support of the program, staff salaries and benefits, office,
etc.
Banquet
We have a fundraising banquet every fall for our donors and
friends of Young Life. We present the work that we do and give
the community an opportunity to support the work with pledges
or donations. (There is no cost for kids to be in Young Life,
except for their camp costs). The banquet is a good place for
parents and community members to learn about the work of Young
Life. People attend as our guests and there is no obligation
to give. This year it will be held at the Omni Hotel on November
12, 2001. Call the Young Life office for more information: 434-964-1867.
Golf Marathon
In the spring we have 40 golfers play in our Golf Marathon.
Each golfer raises $1000 or more in sponsors to enter and plays
100 holes of golf for Young Life. We have great prizes awarded
to golfers. For example, trips, golf bags, etc. Everyone comes
home with something and you're treated like a king or queen
during the day with great service at the "pit stops".
We plan to be at Birdwood in 2002. Call the office if you would
like to play 100 holes and help support Young Life.
Sending kids to camp
To help kids go to summer camp, we have two fundraisers:
Car
Wash
The Car Wash is for kids to get pledges for the total amount
of cars washed. Car Wash is held at the Double Tree Hotel
on Route 29 North in early May.
Slam
Jam
Students from the University of Virginia help raise money for
kids to go to camp. Kids who need help with camp costs then
participate in work projects to "earn" the money raised
at Slam Jam. In the Spring 2001 Slam Jam had special guests
from Caedmon's Call, Monticello Road, Anchor and Sandra McCracken.
Spring 2002 will be the next Slam Jam. Location and bands are
yet to be determined.
