Description

The name of our organization is Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook, or "Youth Services" for short. We are a non-profit community mental health agency that serves children, adolescents, and families in the Chicagoland area. The program we are requesting tickets for is a summer camp for minority youth in grades three through eight. The majority of the participants come from low-income families, and we offer camp for no charge to them. Because of this, we have an extremely limited budget to work with. The goal for our program is to provide access to field trip outings that the participants would not normally experience compared to their more affluent peers. Collectively, they have been asking for a Six Flags trip for years, but we can never afford the advertised prices. We are requesting a ticket donation or scholarship amount for 180 tickets so we can make the Six Flags Great America dream come true for our campers.
