Deck the Halls with Kingsport Young Life!!! Fa La La La LA, La La La La

(Admit it. You just sang it in your head, didn't you? ) It may feel a little early to be thinking about Christmas.... Honestly, IT IS!!!

BUT!  Have we got a deal for YOU!!!

There are only a limited number of days left to get yourself a gorgeous REAL pine wreath at a great price and benefit Young Life Kingsport. Purchase your wreath, complete with a big red bow, for your Christmas decor through us this year! Fantastic for your own house, as a gift for a friend, or an awesome Corporate gift.  The wreaths are made from live Fraser Firs from the mountains of North Carolina and should last through the holidays! These are comparable to the live wreaths you see offered through outfitters such as L.L. Bean.

Just imagine that fresh, pine scented holiday goodness you'll smell every day you walk through your door this Christmas season!!!

All of the proceeds go to benefit Young Life Kingsport. We are taking orders until November 5th.  (Folks, that's not too far in the future. Just a few days past Halloween). Wreaths will be delivered to your door the week of December 1st.

Even better?  Order ONLINE this year! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

22 Years of Success

After overcoming a three-year budget shortfall, staff and volunteers at Young Life Kingsport hope this year’s fundraising banquet will make up the difference in a big way.

 

Shawn Pace, the committee chairman for YL Kingsport, said the ministry’s goal is to build meaningful relationships with students. While the budget is tight, Pace feels the bottom line doesn’t overshadow 22 years of impacting young lives. Pace and his oversight committee are weighing budget strategies, hoping the banquet will foster new support- and celebrating more than two decades of proven success.

 

“This year’s fundraising banquet is critical to ensure the ongoing success of our ministry,” Pace said. “We’re optimistic that new donors and businesses will partner with us and help keep Young Life active and growing in our community.”

 

This year’s banquet will be held on September 23, 6:30 p.m. at the Colonial Heights Methodist Church. The free event will be catered dinner, and the program will include Young Life’s unique style of fun. The success depends solely on tax-deductible donations from the community.

 

Corporate sponsorships, beginning at $500, are available and come with special perks. Volunteers may also host a table to recruit coworkers, friends and family to attend. Individuals who simply wish to get a glimpse of Young Life may reply to the open invitation. For more information, call 423.246.2822. All proceeds will fund YL Kingsport.

Founded in 1941, the worldwide organization has more than 800 ministries in communities across the United States, with Kingsport added in 1991. The Christian group focuses on mentoring middle school, high school and college students. YL Kingsport is reaching students at Central, Dobyns Bennett, North and South high schools.
