Our heartfelt thanks to the community for your continued support of SAY and, most importantly, the youth we serve. The well-being of our youth is the top priority for SAY’s dedicated staff, who work hard to ensure these young people are supported in every way possible.

There has been a swell of outreach; from individuals, businesses, local officials, and government. As this outreach comes pouring in, we are exploring every opportunity for SAY to keep providing life-changing services to our youth.

Not only do we appreciate the words of support, the generous donations, and the advocacy you have offered, we continue to listen to your concerns and critical feedback. We know there is much more work to be done.

The contributions we have received in the last ten days are making it possible for SAY to remain open and give our Board of Directors and Leadership a little more time to diligently and swiftly strategize and plan for SAY’s path forward.

We will continue to provide information and updates as we progress. We will share updates here, and on our home page: saysc.org.

Our fundraising efforts also continue as we strive towards our $1 million dollar fundraising goal.

Thank you.
