Welcome to the 2020 Pig Roast Fundraiser!

 

Every year Youthentity counts on the Pig Roast Benefit as one of our largest sources of contributions for the year. The resources from this event are necessary for us to provide our financial knowledge and career development programs to prepare kids for the future. Youthentity is choosing to hold this Virtual Pig Roast to continue to engage our supporters while not putting anyone at risk. With the current global crisis, kids are being exposed first hand to the importance of personal financial literacy and career planning.

fund-a-need: What’s next for youthentity?

This year we have a goal of raising $25,000 in cash donations to help support our current programs and also jumpstart our new 5-Year Life Plan program - a program that helps students outline their futures and create an academic, professional, and financial path that will prepare them for all of the joys and challenges they will face throughout their life.
