Development Drive

YPI is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. In order to continue to succeed, YPI relies on the generosity of our friends and family to give campers the best experience they can have summer after summer. With the support of our sponsors, we are able to provide our students with trained professionals, top-of-the-line equipment, and a safe, beautiful environment that encourages creativity.

We continue to look for ways to get together as a YPI family. Our plans for a 2011 reunion have been postponed until October. We are in need of some volunteers to help us plan and organize to make this a special event. Please email us if you wish to help us make this reunion/party/fund raising event the best ever. We could really use some ideas to help us celebrate YPI, share our art and keep the YPI spirit alive. Feel free to share ideas on our Facebook page, and stay tuned for further details.

In the meantime, stay in touch to tell us how you are doing. We love hearing about your successes. We especially love receiving any college essays or papers talking about the YPI experience.

We are so fortunate to have the generosity of many YPI alumni and their families. One of our major financial contributors the past three years have been the founders and organizers of BOMBFEST, the Bombaci family. We have been designated as one of the not-for-profit programs benefiting young people to receive funding for scholarships for those talented young people who wish to share the YPI experience. Through their generosity several campers have been able to attend YPI over the last three summers to participate in music, art and film. The BOMB Fest music festival is coming up in 2012. Check out their amazingly diverse musical lineup, and we hope to see you there!

We also owe a great deal to J. Stewart Huey, for his generous contributions facilitating the printing of the YPI brochure, designing YPI t-shirts and serving YPI as a Master Teacher, consultant and long time friend.

Many thanks also to the Annie Eiper and Gwen Moraski who have championed YPI with the kindness of their financial support and encouraging words. Their loyalty and love for YPI has enabled us to make it through even the most difficult of times.
