Valley Youth House expresses its gratitude to the companies and individuals who supported the Inaugural Central Region Golf Tournament, presented by Capital Blue Cross. Thanks to the generous contributions from its supporters, Valley Youth House raised over $226,000 in financial and gift-in-kind support to enhance its life-saving programs, which have been assisting vulnerable youth and families in Pennsylvania communities since 1973.
Participants showcased their golf skills on the beautiful Hershey Country Club golf course followed by a dinner program featuring remarks from Committee Members, Valley Youth House leadership, and youth speaker, Tori, who shared the inspiring story of how Valley Youth House counselors and case managers supported her journey to success.
Two (2) lucky foursomes from H.C. Nye Company and Krimson Square also won this year’s JetAway Package presented by Truist. The groups will embark on a luxurious trip on a private jet to play golf at the exclusive Ballyhack Golf Club in Roanoke, Virginia on September 29, 2025. Breakfast will be served while flying the high skies, before hitting the links. Guests will enjoy food and drinks at the Ballyhack Clubhouse before jetting home in the evening.
Proceeds from this special event will directly support Valley Youth House’s life-saving programs in the Central PA region, enabling the organization to continue offering essential services such as life-skills training, emergency housing, and street outreach.
This year’s tournament was chaired by Wes Reohr, M.B.A., PAHM, Chief Sales Officer at Capital Blue Cross, who remarked that, “the tournament could not have been possible without the support of the dedicated committee members whose time, energy, and ambassadorship were instrumental in making the event an overwhelming success.”
“At Valley Youth House, we often meet young people during some of the most challenging moments of their lives,” said Tom Harrington, President and Executive Director of Valley Youth House. “I always tell our team that their role is to serve as ‘Hope Keepers,” and to help each young person see the talents and abilities that they have in themselves, and to build the belief that things will get better. Our staff wouldn’t be able to support our youth in such important ways if it weren’t for the continued philanthropic support that we receive through events like this. So for that, we are incredibly grateful.”
