An Essential Fundraiser

Morris Youth for Christ is getting ready for another Gala of Hope Fundraiser, an annual event they hold every year to raise money for their general budget. Program Director at Morris YFC Nickel broke down exactly how the funds donated get put to use: "So all of the donations from the gala go to our general budget, which just goes to running the building, planning and making events happen for the kids.
