You are cordially invited to the 2024 Youth Education Scholarship (Y.E.S.) Tea. This fundraiser is a long-standing tradition at Valley, being held every year for over 20 years, even virtually and hybrid during the pandemic. At Valley we show our support for our youth who choose to pursue further education after graduating high school by offering education scholarships. Events like the Y.E.S. Tea make this possible!

It's time for the annual fundraising gala supporting our community partner PRISM! Tickets are $125 per person, but please reach out to Valley staff if cost is a barrier. This year, Valley's own Pat Daily will be receiving the Light of PRISM Award and we want everyone who would like to attend to be there.
