Campaign goal: $5 million
Raised as of July 1, 2009: $4 million

A one-million-dollar Campaign gift is setting off waves of excitement throughout CYC. Polk Bros., whose distinguished history of outstanding support for CYC dates back to 1989, has seen much growth and many changes—including wear and tear on the many well-used buildings—some more than 80 years old.

ABC-Polk Bros. Center with children

Their million-dollar Campaign gift will provide for a broad array of improvements at the nine centers and Camp Rosenthal. The gift’s impact is transformational, as can be witnessed in when an entrance to an eighty-year-old building is remodeled to provide a safe, well lit welcome center, or a state-of-the-art new College Readiness computer lab is sustained by the replacement of an outdated HVAC system.
