YDU Fundraising Success during DelcoGives!

Youth Development United exceeded our fundraising goal of $11,500 during the second annual DelcoGives. With 87 gifts to our organization, this is an amazing feat, and we are beyond grateful for the generosity of every donor. The event itself raised over $2 Million dollars for local nonprofit organizations.

We were especially honored to win the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology (PIT) Golden Ticket Award, which awarded $1,000 to the two organizations from Emergency Services and Education & Youth with the most unique donors from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. on May 9. This would not have been possible without our community of support. A special thank you to PIT and the Foundation for Delaware County for this recognition and award.

All of the money raised will continue to support our work with with the families and children in Chester, and we are grateful for every donation received. Thank you for supporting our organization.
