Stamford Youth Foundation Underscores its Commitment to the Community
STAMFORD, CT / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2018 / Des Hague, Stamford Youth Foundation Board Member and Chairman of Corporate Giving, is delighted to announce his family is stepping up to create the foundations' first scholarship program with The Hague Scholarship Award.
"I have known Des and his family for years," said Ben Pomerantz, President of the Stamford Youth Foundation, and continued, "They have always stepped up to be a positive force for good. Starting a scholarship program that can assist our future youths has been something our board has wanted to do for over a decade. This is now no longer a pipe dream but a reality."
"My family and I are delighted to be able to help launch a scholarship program," explained Hague. "In my opinion, there is nothing better than doing well and good at the same time. This scholarship program will help those who need it most to establish a solid foundation for their future lives. Helping to better someone's life is a life changing experience and I encourage other leaders and concerned citizens in our great community to give as well," he concluded.

About Stamford Youth Foundation (SYF):
SYF is a 501(c) 3, not for profit organization that operates programs to serve the youth of Stamford CT, their parents and the community at large. All SYF officers, coaches and directors are volunteers.
SYF receives donations and grants from organizations and individuals to help subsidize its programs. These donations primarily fund the financial scholarships for participants that could not otherwise afford the programs. Making our programs available to all of the town's youths is core to SYF's mission. SYF also relies upon Stamford's public facilities such as parks, ball fields and schools to offer our programs. These facilities are made available to SYF and its participants at no cost (except for custodians at some locations) by the City of Stamford.
