2024 YATC Classic … The Jim Moran Tradition Continues

Dear Friends:

On behalf of everyone at YATC, I am pleased to invite you to join us at the 2024 YATC Classic on November 8 and 9. This year is a really big one for us as it is the 40th anniversary of the YATC program. That is 40 years of real change in the lives of nearly 900 graduates, their families and in our community overall. We named this annual event the “YATC Classic … The Jim Moran Tradition Continues” because the mission Our Founder set is alive and well in our organization, and we are proud to work toward those ideals every day.

In addition to celebrating our 40th anniversary at the YATC Classic, we will have the bittersweet opportunity to wish our incredible Executive Director, Terry Routley, farewell as he prepares to retire after 31 years with the program. It will be difficult to say goodbye but we wish Terry all the best. When you join us in November, you will also have the chance to meet our new Executive Director Wade Stanfield who came aboard in July and has been an outstanding addition to the YATC family. He is looking forward to meeting so many of our wonderful friends. As always, we want this annual gathering to highlight our incredible supporters who have made the program possible through their ongoing generosity and dedication to the students and graduates. If you know anything about Our Founder Jim Moran, you know that he never missed an opportunity to express his gratitude to anyone who was a part of YATC. I hope that you know how deeply we appreciate each and every person who gives of their resources to support the vital mission of YATC. We hope you can join us in November!

Sincerely,

Alan Browdy

President, Board of Directors
