Renovating, equipping and operating
the Danny’s Place space has been
financed largely through targeted
fundraising from Jeff and Cindy
McCarthy's immediate circle of friends,
committee members and business
acquaintances.
We now need your help to keep
Danny's Place growing and thriving!
Since Danny’s Place is a privately-
operated non-profit, we do not receive
any local, state, federal or school
funding. We hope you will share our
vision of sustaining this haven of social
and emotional support for our
community’s youth at such a critical
stage in their development. Please join
us in pledging your financial support to
Danny's Place for the current operating
year.
