Hello! 

 

I am Nick Yannotty, the Founder of Breakthrough-Butler. This summer my team and I are running our summer day camp – Camp Breakthrough – for its fourth edition. In addition to our camp, we are running the Summer Food & Parks Program for year two! This program provides free lunches, activities, and leadership from responsible and caring adults to all youth ages 18 and under at six public locations – Father Marinaro Park, Memorial Park, Rotary Park, Christie Avenue Playground, Institute Hill Playground, and the East Butler Sports Complex!

 

Being able to provide a program with responsible adult leadership gives the youth something to strive towards, as well as a place to go and decrease the chance of getting into trouble or giving into negative influences during the summer months where there is more down time since school is out of session.

 

Our goal of Camp Breakthrough and the Summer Food Program is to keep building a positive movement in this community, while giving a safe and uplifting space to the youth where they can come as they are, learn invaluable life skills, build healthy relationships, and ultimately start to build better versions of themselves and their peers.

 

We kindly ask for your support in the form of a donation. Your contribution will make a significant impact toward our mission and help build up our community. Any amount given is greatly appreciated!

 

I appreciate your time and hope to gather your support! 

​

Sincerely,

​

Nick Yannotty

Managing Director/Founder of Breakthrough-Butler
