Westfield mayor dons yellow tie for tonight’s youth fundraiser

Cook

Mayor Andy Cook will host the Westfield Mayor’s Yellow Tie Ball this evening in Westfield. The annual event began 10 years ago, and has served as a fundraising opportunity for the Westfield Youth Assistance Program (WYAP) for the last eight years.

“As a community we can do all kinds of great things, like building roads and trails, bringing jobs and continuing the growth of Grand Park,” Mayor Cook said. “But none of that means anything if we don’t support the most valuable asset we have here in Westfield: our kids.”

The sold-out event will feature personal testimony from individuals involved with WYAP to highlight the success the program has had with Westfield’s youth.

Developed as a pilot program in 2009, the Westfield Youth Assistance Program has since grown to include other communities including Carmel, Fishers, Hamilton Heights, Noblesville and Sheridan.
