Rotary Youth Exchange – Building global citizens through international cultural exchange.
Interact – Empowering high school students to become leaders through service.
Scouting America Troop 266 – Developing character, leadership, outdoor skills, and community service.
We're currently seeking event sponsors and auction item donations to help make this year's event a success. Whether you're a local business, organization, or community member, your support makes a lasting impact on the youth we serve.
