.  The Youth Center provides a safe, fun, active and educational environment for students free of charge daily after school.  In 2019, the Youth Center welcomed 139 different kids who visited over 5000 different times. In 2020, we were only open for a limited time. In 2021, we have seen a large increase in usage, including participants in the summer and record numbers so far this school year.

Over the years, the Youth Center has seen a decrease in governmental funding and corporate donations. We are bringing back our spaghetti dinner but with a twist.  We will be hosting a Youth Center Fundraising Night that will include a pasta dinner, various raffles and an optional euchre tournament.  This event will take place on January 15th, 2021 at 5pm at the Cambridge Winery. I’m writing to you to ask for your consideration in supporting this event.  We are seeking donation for items to be used in our raffle, silent auction or as prizes for the euchre tournament.

All of the funds raised will have a direct impact on the Cambridge Area Youth Center.  Your support will provide healthy snacks, sport equipment, DIY and STEAM project supplies, special event programming and ultimately a safe place for middle school children to go after school. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity as our organization and children are very grateful.
