Please click here for parent information and membership or renewal forms. Otherwise, a $5 per visit fee is required for non-members to attend.

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.
