For the fifth year, Westfield Youth Assistance Program (WYAP) will participate in Giving Tuesday. This year a loyal donor, George Kristo, will match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $12,500.
Giving Tuesday is a worldwide day of charitable giving that occurs each year on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. There’s Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday, a day set aside for people to transform their communities.

WYAP will use the dollars raised from Giving Tuesday to tutor students who need extra educational support, provide financial assistance for winter and summer camp participation, support for the mentoring program, and link youth to critical community support resources like counseling and skills development.
“Every dollar received goes towards changing the life of a young person in need. Being able to match those dollars with the generous gift from George Kristo for our annual Giving Tuesday campaign brings us one step closer to giving youth in Westfield every advantage to be successful,” WYAP Board President Steve Latour said. “Giving to this campaign creates the opportunity for Westfield and Hamilton County neighbors to come together. What we can continue to accomplish together is truly remarkable. I hope we can count on your support.”
