THANK YOU!!
Together we raised over $130,000!
Thank you for making the 2024 Celebration of Hope such a huge success. Your generosity empowers transformational, Christ-centered relationships with underserved youth across Pierce County. We know that a caring adult presence can change the trajectory of the life of a young person, as we saw with Alize, Summer, and Dylan’s stories shared at the Celebration of Hope.
Pierce County is filled with thousands of hurting kids and recent years have shown a rise in mental health issues like extreme loneliness, depression, and suicidal ideation. Tacoma Area Youth for Christ reaches 11 to 19-year-olds in our community through ministry models like Campus Life, Parent Life, Juvenile Justice Ministry, and Mentor One80, introducing them to the hope of Jesus and providing the positive relationships that impact resilience, growth, educational outcomes, and long-term societal change.
If you missed the event, you didn’t miss your opportunity to be a part of changing the lives of local young people. Click below to give.
