We need your help to keep educational options open to ALL the youth and families in our community that rely on them.
This year, TEEN DAY has received more applications for financial aid than we have available through our scholarship fund. For the first time in our history, we are having to tell applicants we are unable to meet their requests. For some, this has meant eliminating courses they had hoped for in 2024-2025. For others, it has meant facing the possibility they cannot participate at all.
The Board is committed to finding ways to bolster our scholarship fund over the summer to enable a second round of funding for families that really need it. There are several ways you can support these efforts:
- Have dinner with us…TWICE!
Sunday, June 30 between 4 and 8pm: Head to Panera Bread at 728 South Meadow St. in Ithaca, NY. Present a copy of our fundraising flyer (below or from social media) or enter the code “FUND4U” on any kiosk when ordering, and TEEN DAY will receive 25% of sales!
Sunday, July 21 between 4 and 7pm: Head to the Loyal Order of Moose at 367 Elmira Rd. in Ithaca, NY. Your choice of chicken or eggplant hot off the grill with salt potatoes and coleslaw…all for $15/person! For tickets, keep an eye on the website and social media, or email admin@teendayithaca.org.
- Make a direct donation. Your one-time donation of $25, $50, $100 or more OR a recurring monthly donation of $20 or more would go a long way toward securing accessible programming for all. Checks can be made out to “TEEN DAY Ithaca” and mailed to 120 Third St., Ithaca, NY 14850 or donate online.
- Encourage friends and family members to donate. Forward this email and/or share our social media posts (Facebook/Instagram), telling people why YOU value TEEN DAY.
