We also want to share with you some of our highlights from our first year!

• We started with our kick-off party last September and created holiday cards for the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign in November.
• We volunteered for Dancing with Our Stars 2015 main event- working backstage for social media and videos, collecting votes and recording the dances.
• RCYP raised $500 for the Red Cross – we filled out the Best of the Bay results for the Press-Gazette and co-hosted with Current for an networking event.
• We hosted a Thank-a-Thon- called local sponsors to thanked them for their donations and spread awareness about Giving Day.
• We also volunteered for the Packers 5k at the water station and recently worked with youths for the Pillowcase Project, guiding children on creating a pillowcase kit for fire safety and needs.
• RCYP took 2^nd place in Current’s Bench Challenge, hosted by the Green Bay Area Habitat Young Professionals. All thanks to Ben and Dan for building the bench and taking a selfie!
• One of our members, Dan Terrio is a part of the Dancing with Our Stars 2016 campaign and we are ready to show our support!
