Match 2013
Wednesday, June 5th, was a fabulous night for AFC Mentoring. Match 2013 was our most successful annual gala to date. Guests heard from AFC youth, including Jeremy, shown above. Jeremy said, “AFC has helped me learn more about important life skills like how to manage a budget and find and keep a job. I think this program can be very beneficial to youth like me who really want to have more support from people who care and have a great time while learning.”
THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored, volunteered at, and attended this event–YOU made it a huge success!
