Can your company afford to make a $500 or $1,000 donation YTP? 100% of event sponsorship goes directly to YTP (not used to pay for the party). For more info about about opportunities to support YTP by sponsoring this year's event, click here.

We also run an online auction in tandem with the event to help raise funds for YTP. Vacation rentals, sports tickets, gift certificates, or anything you or your business can contribute would be greatly appreciated. For more info about contributing an item to our auction, click here.
