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.
