Westfield Yellow Tie Galla 2022
400+ friends, neighbors, and supporters of WYAP will come together in October at the Bridgewater Golf Club to enjoy one another’s company. There would be dinner, live music, and reverse raffle all to raise more than $100,000 to support the State of Indiana’s first-ever Youth Assistance Program.
The event will take place the evening of Saturday, October 8. Businesses, residents, and city leaders will come together at The Bridgewater Golf Club to raise the dollars needed to support WYAP for another year. Together we can reach and surpass our $100K goal.
WYAP is a 501(c)3 public charity that is the early intervention advocate for youth ages 3-17 who are facing challenging life circumstances at home and in school. Funds raised at this event provides mental health services for youth and families as well as to offer pro-social activities for youth that might not otherwise be able to afford them. They participate in summer camps, music lessons, sports, karate, dance, gymnastics, after school clubs, etc. Getting youth involved in these activities provides them with another positive adult role model in their life. Funds raised also allow us to obtain tutoring for youth that are falling behind or needs extra support.
The Gala is our signature event first held in 2010 and organized by Westfield’s first Mayor, Andy Cook, who is color blind and can only see yellow, hence the name. Fitting that yellow has stood for wisdom and intellect throughout the ages, the Yellow Tie Gala aims to raise thousands of dollars to do the same for the youth in the community. By giving the youth, we serve every advantage to grow and reach their true potential were confident that they would grow up to become engaged and contributing members of this community or whatever community they find themselves in someday.
