CARVE FOR A CAUSE 2023 TO BENEFIT
THE NEW PALTZ YOUTH PROGRAM

Saturday, October 21st, 2023

We are excited and proud to announce our pledge to raise $65,000 to support the New Paltz Youth Program (NPYP). Under the leadership of Director, Jim Tinger, the NPYP serves over 500 different middle school and high school youth annually. The NPYP provides counseling, healthy recreation, tutoring, nourishing meals, social opportunities & field trips all under one small but very SOLID roof! Additionally, the NPYP offers more tutoring in a school than any other community resource in New York State—something they are very proud of!

Your contribution at any level, is deeply meaningful and will go directly to the purchase of a passenger van to transport kids on educational and recreational field trips, an upgrade of bathroom and kitchen cabinets, new outdoor recreational equipment, a sponsorship fund to allow more kids to join in the field trips and a new sign that will proudly & properly highlight the location of the NPYP at 220 Main Street, New Paltz.

Come out strong & show your support for the
Power of the Pumpkin & The New Paltz Youth Program
