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 or state
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.
