Your support of S.A.V.E. (Sports, Arts, Volunteerism & Education) opens doors for youth at the Ritchie Center to help build confidence, character, and community. Give now and help every child see what’s possible.
S.A.V.E. removes cost as a barrier so youth can access life-shaping experiences at the Ritchie Center - from Pioneer Athletic Super Summer Camp (P.A.S.S.) to year-round recreation. Your gift funds scholarships that turn first tries into lasting confidence, helps build character through teamwork and service, and creates a sense of belonging that carries far beyond the court or stage.
Why Your Support Matters:
- With just $5: You can help provide basic athletic supplies for a child in the community participating in their first-ever sports program.
- With $50: You sponsor a child’s participation in a one-day program like School Days Off, providing a childcare solution and a chance to try something new.
- With $500: You contribute to a scholarship fund that supports a child’s enrollment in a week of P.A.S.S. Camp, giving them access to a wide range of recreational activities and a Super Summer!
Each donation will be strategically used to maximize the impact on youth development, ensuring access to quality programs that promote physical activity, teamwork, and personal growth in a fun, supportive environment.
“As a parent, it meant so much to see Jax in a place that truly cared for his heart and spirit. The leaders and especially Liam went above and beyond to make my child feel seen and valued, and it showed. Jax learned teamwork, patience, and what it means to be a good friend in everyday life — all while having the best time! We’re so grateful for the impact this camp had on him and wouldn't have been able to participate if it wasn't for this scholarship.”
- Jennifer on behalf of her son, Jax
