Welcome Message by the Chair

Welcome to NYA's Stay-At-Home Scholarship Dinner: “Moving Together Towards a Bright Future!” In this time of physical distancing, we are bringing the 37th annual celebration to the safety and comfort of your home! In planning this virtual fundraiser, our goal was to reshape our favorite aspects of the traditional dinner into a digital format we could all access and enjoy together. In lieu of a reception, we are meeting live via Zoom at 6 p.m. on our launching and closing dates, May 9 and May 16. We are spotlighting our inspirational and deserving students with a main-attraction video and scholarship recipients’ moving testimonials which highlight the important, life-changing role NYA has played and continues to play in their lives.

Despite our physical distance we are united in our commitment to keeping NYA financially strong and meeting the needs of the children, youth and families it serves. Now more than ever in these uncertain times, we are being called to step-up on behalf of NYA. Currently, NYA’s primary need is operating funds to keep the college counseling, online instruction, and fundraising programs on track. Therefore, your “dinner ticket” contribution in any amount (usually $125) is vitally important, as it will be applied directly to NYA’s operating account. Additionally, our virtual Pop-Up-Store provides opportunities to purchase teacher wish-list items or fund a favorite NYA after-school program.
Thank you for supporting NYA, and for helping us move together towards a bright future!
Sincerely,
Sarah Newman, Scholarship Dinner Chair
