Letter from AYD Executive Director Brian FoltzDear Friends: I hope you know what a profound, perpetual effect your support of AYD creates. We recently learned that two of our alumni volunteers, Dominick Jones-Moriarty and Warren Butler, have been invited to Washington next month to speak to members of the U.S. Senate about their ministry at AYD, and to receive the prestigious National Jefferson Award for Community Service. (Read more) I could not be more proud of these two. But I also consider it a challenge to AYD, and to all of you who support us, to increase this award - that is, to help Dom and Warren expand their work among teenage boys. This school year, Dom and Warren have given more than 100 volunteer hours helping our boys with their homework, coaching their basketball team, and leading their Bible studies - all while holding down full-time jobs with the Pittsburgh Public Schools. These activities demand resources, though, such as classroom materials, sports equipment and transportation. There have been several times, I hate to admit, when we've had to decline Dom and Warren's ideas simply because we didn't have the money to make them happen. Through your support, we would like to increase the number of boys enrolled in Dom and Warren's current programs, add to the range of programs they offer and, most important, help these two return to college to earn their bachelor degrees. Success doesn't decrease our need for prayer and help; it increases it. Would you please consider AYD in your charitable giving?
