About The Event

During the past year alone, HYC served approximately 25,000 individuals through vital programs including:
-
Behavioral Health Services
-
Family Support Programs
-
Youth Development

Homeless & Housing Assistance
Many of those served face complex challenges such as economic hardship, housing instability, family stress, immigration-related pressures, and mental health concerns.
Proceeds from this event fund these life-changing services throughout the year.
