Supporting Local Causes

Half of the proceeds from this event will support the mission at Tyburn Academy while the other half are designated to the United Way of Cayuga County to support two funding Pillars: Financial Stability and Community Resilience. These two pillars focus on ensuring Cayuga County residents have the tools to thrive in the workplace such as improved literacy skills, virtual training programs, and transportation for seniors and disabled neighbors. These programs also address emergency needs like food, clothing, and shelter for neighbors who have survived flood and fire damage to their homes as well as energy assistance for those facing utility shut offs.
