We would like to to share some difficult news with the members of our community regarding the recent invasion of the Central Florida Youth Club by thieves. This past Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 3:15 a.m., our office building was broken into and two safes were forcefully taken by three unknown gentlemen. These safes contained vital resources: hard-earned scholarship funds and weekly savings accounts belonging to our youths. This money was painstakingly raised by the children in our Program, serving as a beacon of their hard work and dedication.

Our young members, who mostly come from high crime zones, believed the Program’s office was a secure place to store their futures, a place safer than their own homes. Unfortunately, this sense of security has been shattered, not only through the theft of their savings and scholarship money but also with the loss of important documents containing personal information.

As we navigate through this challenging time, we are reaching out to the supportive communities that have always stood by us. We urgently need your help to replace the unexpected loss and continue supporting our youth in their educational and personal development efforts.

Additionally, we encourage you all to stay vigilant. If you have any information related to this incident, or if you've heard anything unusual, please do not hesitate to share it with us. We assure you that you can do so anonymously if you prefer.
