Help local children access life-changing recreation opportunities. Your gift provides scholarships for specialty summer camps, youth sports, environmental education programs, pool access, and more. Gifts to the Youth Scholarship Program go directly to provide opportunities to youth in need.
Active Adult Center
Support for the Centre Region Active Adult Center helps older adults stay active, independent, and socially connected. Your donation strengthens essential offerings—from fitness and wellness programs to creative arts, technology instruction, social events, outings, and the daily nutritious meals many participants rely on. Your generosity ensures the Center remains a welcoming place where adults 55+ can learn, socialize, and enjoy meaningful activities.
