Youth Appreciation Day

The biggest awards of the night, given to our stars of volunteerism each year, are the Michael Ventresca Memorial Awards. These are awarded to up to 5 individuals per year who have had the most impact on the Youth Center and the community service activities we participate in. This year’s Michael Ventresca recipients were Cate Roche, Peter Sciaudone, Maggie Nugent, and Chace Bodenrader. See below for the full list of this year's award winners, along with some pictures from the event! 

Along with the awards ceremony, we have a guest speaker each year, speaking to our youth on the importance of giving back. Thank you to our 2023 speaker, Steve Boudreau, for your inspiring speech to our group!

We finished off the night with t-shirts, gifts, and food for all attendees! Thank you to Terry Holland from Stachey's for providing pizza for the event!
