It cost approximately $50 per youth, per program, and workshop. This cost covers transportation, staff, food & beverages, entry to event (if entry is not donated), materials for workshops, venue to host workshop, pre and post mentoring, and many other necessities. The cost to serve 7500 youth is $375,000. Any amount donated is highly appreciated. Your donation will contribute to blessing and installing hope in inner-city families, saving lives, providing resources, educating, mentoring, and the opportunities for these youths to obtain the exposure needed to dream and manifest their dreams, and possible be the first change their family ever sees. We hope you will join us on this journey!
