This year, the tournament will be held at the beautiful River Wilderness Golf & Country Club in Parrish, followed by dinner in the club house.

Remember that we host this event not only for the great time that we enjoy year after year, but also to support our youth athletic programs.  We are adding new and exciting programs  – to include golf! – and we can’t do it (and keep it affordable for our families) without your help.

Please considering becoming a sponsor, or just joining us to golf.  It’s a great deal at only $75 per golfer at a beautiful, private course – including dinner and prizes! 

Any contribution (even if you will not be joining us to golf)  is most welcome, and will help us serve Palmetto’s Youth!

Please join us in thanking the Selby Foundation for their continued grant support of the Palmetto Youth Center! 

Although the van is still waiting to get “wrapped” with our name, it’s made our transportation more comfortable for our youth, and more reliable!  We couldn’t have done it without the help from the Selby Foundation!  They also funded necessary repairs to our roof.  This type of grant funding is so important – - – help with these “big ticket items” lets us continue charging affordable fees to our local families while expanding our programs and offering even more to our children!

Visit The Selby Foundation on Facebook and tell them how much we appreciate them!

Then, on February 25th, PYC kids took a dance lesson (and, learned a short routine that they PERFORMED for FST directors), and had lunch in the Goldstein Cabaret Theatre while participating in a Kids Comedy Club – an interactive comedy show for kids of all ages.  It was a great day!

We expect to get a few scholarships to summer camps and classes, so let PYC staff if your children are interested in arts, music, and acting – Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity!

 A special thanks to the dance teams, their families, the coaches, and all of our friends and families who attended practices, games, and competitions, as well as those who contributed to the fundraisers to ensure we would be able to participate. 

Take a few seconds to congratulate our Dance Teams!  GO TROJANS!
