It’s an opportunity for our community to come together in support of local youth and families,” said Dan Morrow, WYAP board member and event committee chair. “The event reflects WYAP’s mission of strengthening families and helping young people succeed through mentoring, early intervention, and access to critical resources. The support generated through The Double helps make that work possible.”
