Dear Friends and Family,

We are reaching out to you with something big that we have embarked on this year. We have a huge goal and we need your help.

I am greatly humbled and honored to not only be the chairman of the board for YES to YOUTH, but also my wife, Rachel and I, are the honorees for the 2021 Gala. We want to take this unique opportunity to help YES to YOUTH raise critical, life-saving funds and leave a legacy here in the community where we live, work and play.

I first joined YES to YOUTH in 2016.  I was inspired by the counseling program and other services provided for free to any resident of Montgomery County, and knew that this was my organization. Rachel and I decided early on that we wanted to be purposeful in the non-profits we supported. The goal is to be focused and make a larger impact. We chose YES to YOUTH because this organization is directly affecting the lives of our kids, improving their lives, and their future families lives for generations to come!

We are humbled to have been chosen as the honorees and intend to serve the organization well. If you are receiving this letter you are family, a dear friend or client, or work with our family business. We are reaching out to our trusted relationships to ask for your support. Some of you have given to YES to YOUTH, and for some of you, this will be your first time. Thank you if you have supported, and if you are thinking of it, now is the time. We know that you too will be blessed by joining the YES to YOUTH family.

YES to YOUTH has two programs that serve our entire county. We have an emergency youth shelter where children ages 10-17 physically come and live with us, and we also have 5 mental health counseling offices that help children and their families with anything from anxiety to a major trauma.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 and we know that won’t be possible without donations from friends, family, colleagues, and clients like you. Every dollar counts, whether it’s $50 or $5,000, and we need your help.

Thank you for putting some serious thought and prayer in to this gift that will undoubtedly help save lives.  We are so grateful to have the opportunity to surround ourselves with people like you. If you have any questions about this effort or the mission of YES to YOUTH, please call me at 281-684-7497 or email Rachel and I at zach@richmondreality.com.      

Much love, 

Zach and Rachel Richmond
