Welcome to the party!
Every year, Worcester Youth and Family hosts their annual fundraiser at the beautiful Sunset Grille in West OC, MD. For the last three years, we have been pruning the flowers and bringing out the Hawaiian shirts, bringing you into a beautiful tropical paradise just in time for summer. From a hand-picked menu and drinks, to games and prizes, to live music, this event is a family-friendly and festive way to give back to the community.
About us:
Worcester Youth and Family has been “shining on the shore” for 50 years! This year we celebrate our fifty years of being a community advocacy and mental health group in Worcester County. Through many iterations, we have become a name in the community people trust for effective community work including our clinical mental health counseling program, mentor/mentee services, free youth summer camp, and financial outreach Navigators. The Shine on the Shore Luau is a way for us to reach the public and say “thank you” while also raising funds to continue our programs.
For more information:
We had an amazing party this year! If you were a sponsor or donor, your thank you (and letter of taxable donation) is on its way. If you want more information about next year’s Luau, email [email protected] for inquiries!
