Join us to strengthen kids! Youth First supports vulnerable children and families with school-based and community programs that build confidence, life skills, and resiliency. Youth First’s services are free and easily accessible to over 40,000 students thanks to our donors and volunteers who support our annual benefit auction—taking place this April!   

On Thursday, April 21, 2022, a local tradition continues as Youth First hosts its 20th Annual Passport to Adventure Benefit Auction! This year, we will be inviting auction supporters to attend the event at their comfort level: either in-person at the DoubleTree in downtown Evansville, or virtually from home or at a small “watch party” with family and friends. Everyone’s health remains a top priority, yet we don’t want anyone to miss the excitement this event will feature, including mobile bidding of live and silent auction packages and an awards ceremony that honors youth, supporters, and educators who benefited from or advocated for Youth First.

Last year, Youth First’s virtual auction raised $213,200 for vital programs and services that positively impact kids. 90% of auction proceeds directly support the organization’s mission of evidence-based programs that strengthen youth and families and lead to school and life success.
