SUMMER SCHOLARSHIPS 2014
You made a difference for “Sally” last summer.
Sally is an 8th grader who struggles with anxiety. Last summer, one of her greatest fears was bike riding, and she resisted going on the 17-mile bike ride on the Virginia Creeper trail. But, with the encouragement and support of the WYN staff, she changed her mind and reluctantly decided to participate. On this ride, with WYN staff supporting her each step of the journey, Sally learned that she could trust herself and even trust others no matter what her fears were telling her. After reflecting on the experience on the van ride home, she told the WYN staff, “Life can be tough, but you have to get up and keep going.”
Your partnership enabled so many others, just like Sally to have eye-opening, life-changing exciting adventures. Even though Watauga County experienced record rainfall last summer, it didn’t stop us from taking two caving trips, two kayaking trips, eight trips to Maverick Farms, two service-oriented trips to Horse Helpers, two trips to Wild Cat Lake, and much more!
Your support improves the quality of life for all our youth at WYN, and I am grateful for it.
As we gear up
for another excellent summer, I want to invite you to again participate in
helping keep youth safe and engaged in healthy activities once the school year
ends. Will you sponsor a child today?
The summer program costs roughly $31 a
day. Consider that:
$625 = provides one full scholarship for the entire summer for one child
$250 = provides two weeks of summer program for one child
$125= provides one week of summer program for one child
Scholarships enable us to serve those children that can’t afford the program costs, and otherwise, may not be able to participate. Sponsorship includes food, transportation, adventure-based activities, service-oriented activities, and staff supervision and guidance.
I am extremely grateful that you share my enthusiasm for this organization. Your support means so much to me.
Warm Regards,
