The Sam Cohen ECHO Fund - Every Child Has Opportunities

"When youth call out, please help us respond!"

The ECHO fund helps the Ithaca Youth Bureau to provide scholarships for local youth to attend recreation programs they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford. It is maintained through generous contributions from the community. Each year, dozens of families apply for financial assistance for their children to attend programs. The ECHO fund provides a response to their call for help. Contributions may be made out to the Ithaca Youth Bureau ECHO Fund. 

The Computer All Stars Program needs donations of working Pentium class computers. They also accept working monitors and working printers. Call if you have other equipment or hardware to donate.

You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Friends of the IYB by mailing a check (made out to 'Friends of the IYB' to the following address: Friends of the IYB, P.O. Box 4198, Ithaca, NY 14850 or you can donate on-line at www.FriendsIYB.org.  For more information, please email FriendsIYB@gmail.com.

In addition, many programs depend on the donation of time as volunteers to help keep program costs low and affordable.  Please, see Volunteer Opportunities for a list of ways that you can consider donating some of your time.
