Charity
Auction for Youth Mentoring Program Announced
Long
Island Youth Mentoring is hosting it's 25th anniversary
charity auction to support at risk youth with their
mentoring program, pen pal prison ministry and one-on-one
after school tutoring program.
Deer Park, New York (PRWEB) September
7, 2006 -- The charity auction hosted by Long Island
Youth Mentoring at the Brookville Country Club on
October 21, 2006 is an annual event attended by
some of Long Island's most influential philanthropic
couples which yearly generates more than $250,000
for this important organization.
The program will highlight the story of Long Island
Youth Mentoring's 25 years of helping troubled children
on Long Island while assisting other organizations
around the world to duplicate their proven methods.
It will feature stories of kids and honor special
people who have made significant contributions to
further this important work. Victor and Laura Scognamiglio,
Ed Grilli, and Jack Crabtree will be three of those
who will be honored.
One of the women who will speak will share her personal
experience with drug addiction and how it landed
her in jail. That is where Long Island Youth Mentoring
met her. She will explain how she has recovered
from the hopelessness of addiction and how this
program was used by God to give her hope and new
life direction. She is currently in college with
the dream of being on the staff of Long Island Youth
Mentoring. The main events will be outstanding food,
great music and a lively auction. It will be a memorable
evening for all.
Highlights of past auctions have been tickets to
performances at the Tilles Center, Mickey Mantle

Yogi Berra and other baseball greats, holiday Gift

to make the event a great success. He said: "Each
