Thank You for Your Support on Give to the Max Day 2012

November 20, 2012

Thank you to everyone who donated on November 15, Razoo and GiveMN’s Give to the Max Day! Please see our special thank you message from NYLC CEO Kelita Bak and members of the National Youth Advisory Council. 

NYLC had a great turnout for our annual campaign kickoff, with 36 donations totaling over $3,600! We are honored by the tremendous generosity and participation from our supporters around the country, including former National Youth Leadership Training participants, our staff and Board of Directors, families of the youth who have been impacted by our programs, and former staff and volunteers.  To date we have raised over $4,000 to support the expansion of the 2013 National Youth Leadership Training.  We didn’t get a Golden Ticket, but we still think this is a Golden Opportunity!

For all nonprofits, the fourth annual Give to the Max Day surpassed $1 million in just two hours and by midnight had exceeded $16 million as organizers and supporters of nonprofit organizations nationwide beat last year's fundraising efforts by over 22%.

Give to the Max Day was a great start to help us reach our goal to raise $15,000 by the end of the calendar year.  We need your support to expand NYLT to 75 teams from 75 communities across the country.  Please consider making a year-end gift to NYLC and help us continue to spread the message to family, friends, and social networks about this amazing program and how it is creating  the next generation of young leaders.
