The flow
Four steps, no intermediaries, and a board that has to look each other in the eye at the next meeting.
01
Local businesses take a hole, a meal, or a tier. Individuals give directly. Golfers buy a foursome and bring three friends.
02
Funds are voted on in open board meetings, program by program, against the mission and what each program actually needs.
03
Uniforms, entry fees, travel, range time, equipment, and delegate seats. The things that quietly keep a kid from participating.
04
Spending comes back to the table at the next meeting. Nothing moves without a vote and a record.
What we fund
ALYP puts money behind programs that put a young person in a uniform, on a team, or in front of a room, and expect them to rise to it. The list is never closed.
01
Teaching government, civic engagement, and leadership.
A week of running a working model government: elections, legislation, and the arguing that comes with both. Delegates come home understanding that civic life is something you do, not something you watch.
02
Encouraging youth to learn and speak on the U.S. Constitution.
Students study the Constitution closely enough to defend it out loud, from memory, in front of judges. It builds the rarest pair of skills in a teenager: knowing the material and holding a room.
03
Promoting discipline, focus, and marksmanship.
Supervised air rifle competition built on range safety, patience, and repetition. The sport rewards the quiet kid who does the same careful thing a thousand times.
04
Building teamwork, sportsmanship, and lifelong character.
Season-long team play where showing up for practice matters as much as the box score, and where losing well is part of the curriculum.
05
Developing responsibility, self-reliance, and service to others.
Outdoor skills, merit work, and service hours that turn into a habit of usefulness. Scouting reaches kids early and keeps them for years.
06
Fostering leadership, aerospace education, and emergency service skills.
Cadets train in aerospace, search and rescue support, and chain-of-command leadership. Many arrive at sixteen and leave with a career direction.
07
Teaching respect, discipline, and citizenship.
A youth program built on drill, fitness, and drug-free living, run by adults who hold the standard and hold it evenly.
Fund the next one
We are always open to supporting a new program that fits the mission. Sponsorships and gifts are what add the next line to the giving list.
DonateLast year's giving

The engine
The ALYP Charity Golf Tournament is how ALYP funds its grants. Sponsors put their names on tee boxes, golfers fill the field, and the silent auction and raffles close the gap.
Costs are kept deliberately low. The board is unpaid, the work between meetings is volunteer, and the tournament runs on donated prizes and in-kind support wherever it can.
The 4th annual tournament is set for June 14, 2027 at Perry Park Country Club.
Sponsorship
Levels set by the board. Every one of them turns into program funding, and every one of them puts your name in front of a field of local business owners.
