This team will be working with the staff and Board of the Milton Area Youth Center to establish financial sponsorships/long-term benefactors to ensure a long-lasting future for the organization. In addition to creating stable finances for the future, they plan to hold a single event fundraiser with hopes that it is sustainable as an annual event.

18. Why Get Involved:
Jessica Dobratz:
MAYC Before joining LDA,I did not know MAYC existed . Luckily some of my team members
were involved with supporting MAYC prior to LDA, and were able to explain to our team how
MAYC supports the Milton community and it's youth . MAYC offers kids many unique
opportunities, and I am happy to help our LDA team support such a great organization in any
way I can.
Mike Davis:
MAYC is a positive force in the Milton community. By providing opportunities to learn, express
themselves creatively, and a meal, MAYC helps fill the gaps in the lives of Milton’s youth. As a
member of the community, it is my duty to help those in need, and I want to guarantee the youth
of tomorrow have a place to turn when they are in need.”
Teresa Riesterer:
MAYC is dedicated to improving the lives of students in the Milton Community. It is my hope
that Team Colors United can help MAYC secure sustainable donations so MAYC can continue
to support our youth for years to come!

we are just a dream
