Friends and supporters,

Wow! What an amazing summer we've had because of you!

It was a whirlwind with our 14th Annual Route 50 Mile followed by our record-breaking An Unbridled Affair Gala! Then we kicked it into high gear for our the 25th Anniversary Fund Drive for the Runaway & Homeless Youth Shelter and finished planning for the Anniversary Celebration, coming up this Thursday night! (Tickets are still available, click here!)

Because of you, we've raised over $95,000 for the Runaway & Homeless Youth Shelter! Thank you to all of the donors listed below for making this possible!

We have just under $20,000 to go to meet our goals to replace the roof and HVAC system, fix the foundation, and purchase a passenger van to transport youth.

Please help us reach our goal by giving, sponsoring, and sharing today!

And don't forget to join us at the 25th Anniversary Celebration this Thursday, September 21st!

As we look ahead to the holiday season, there are many ways to continue supporting kids, families, and seniors in our community. We're in need of volunteers for this fall's Homework Help at Cheryl's Lodge and for our growing waiting list at Senior Services. We're also looking for individuals, families, and businesses to contribute toward our holiday giving programs, which ensure every child and family has a cheerful holiday experience. Learn more by clicking below.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support of kids, families, and seniors in our community, and for considering this one-time additional donation for the Youth Shelter. Thank you for lifting people up and building brighter futures for our community's youth.

With deepest gratitude,

Andy Gilpin
Executive Director

☮ An Amazing Year at Peace Camp

Check out the fantastic time our kids had at Peace Camp this summer! They made art, engaged in science, and participated in recreation activities in the afternoon with Grand Master Pai. They had a wonderful trip to Pirate's Hideout for ice cream and mini-golf, learned new skills in archery and rock wall climbing at the Spiritual Life Center in Greenwich, got to meet the many amazing animals at Adirondack Animal Land, and expanded their understanding of science at MiSci. It was an absolute blast!

Wow! What an amazing act of kindness from Fenimore Asset Management and Siena College Basketball! These wonderful teams helped to refurbish the basketball court (Star Court) at Cheryl's Lodge this summer. The celebration event was wonderful, and the kids have enjoyed everyday on the court this summer. Thank you so, so, so much to these two groups of absolutely generous staff and players!
