Over thousands of children have attended a Healthy Youth USA program. The mission of the Healthy Youth USA Foundation is to provide youth development through sports, recreation and mentorship. Our organization currently serves approximate 154 children daily at the After School Club located in the Sandy Springs/Dunwoody area of Georgia.

While over 300,000 young children in Georgia are left home alone during after school and summer day hours due to quality care affordability; this fundraising gala provides extra funding that allows scholarships and programming to continue for the families who otherwise would have to move to considerably unsafe communities that are more affordable or make the choice to have their child unattended for long periods of time.

Please see the Sponsor packet benefits attached. We hope you will find them attractive. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering this request. More information on The Sharper Ball and The Foundation can be found on our website. www.healthyyouthusa.org
