Donations Make a Difference

At the “See Ya Later” (SYL) Foundation, our mission is simple but powerful: Inspiring Youth – Encouraging Families. Every program we offer, every opportunity we create, and every life we touch is made possible through the generosity of donors like you.

Your support isn’t just a donation—it’s an investment in the future of our community. Whether it’s helping a child join a sports team, providing musical instruments for a budding artist, or ensuring no family is turned away due to financial hardship, your generosity makes a lasting impact. Here’s how your contributions change lives and strengthen the community we all call home.

The Impact of Your Generosity

Every dollar you give to SYL directly benefits the children and families we serve. Your support ensures that every child has the chance to explore their talents, develop confidence, and experience personal growth—regardless of financial circumstances.

  • Providing Access to Life-Changing Programs – Your donations fund our sports, music, and mentorship programs, giving kids opportunities to discover their passions and build valuable life skills.
  • Keeping Programs Affordable for Families – We work hard to keep program fees low so that cost is never a barrier. Your support helps us make that possible.
  • Offering Scholarships – No Questions Asked – Every child deserves a chance to participate. Because of you, families in need can apply for financial assistance without hesitation, ensuring no child is left out.

How Donations Strengthen Local Communities

The impact of your generosity extends far beyond the children who participate in our programs. Your support strengthens families, fosters connections, and creates a ripple effect of positivity throughout the community.
