It is always held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States and is a reminder during the holiday season that you can make a difference in your community. Every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give\, even if that is making someone else smile. \nWYAP participates in this “day of giving” campaign\, only we have made our campaign last an entire month rather than just one day\, so we can really emphasize the power of our community. Donations made to the Giving Tuesday campaign go towards supporting our services. Your donation can provide a youth with a mental health session\, enable a youth to enroll in tutoring sessions\, or allow a youth to have a life-changing summer camp experience. Every donation matters\, and every dollar can make a difference in the future of a Westfield youth. \nIn 2024\, Giving Tuesday will be held on Tuesday\, December 3rd. Our goal is to raise $20\,000 for WYAP. This year\, we have two matching donors \, who combined are matching up to $10\,000! This means that your donation will go even further\, and your impact will be doubled. We hope you will join us in making a difference in Westfield this holiday season.

One of the ways that we have grown this relationship is by attending the annual Jake Laird Day. \nAbout Jake Laird Day:\nJake Laird was a well-respected Indianapolis Police Officer\, who was killed in the line of duty on August 18\, 2004\, when he and four other officers responded to numerous 911 calls reporting gunfire on the Southside of Indianapolis. Jake was fatally wounded when a round from an SKS assault rifle hit him high in the chest above his protective vest. \nOfficer Laird was a United States Marine Corps veteran who had served with the Indianapolis Police Department for nearly 4½ years and was assigned to the South District. He was posthumously awarded the department’s Medal of Honor and Purple Heart. \nAfter his death\, his parents\, Mike and Debbie Laird\, created The Jake Laird Memorial Foundation to honor their son’s strong desire to serve the public and his loyalty to the police department. \nThe foundation’s mission is to provide financial contributions to law and fire department agencies for purchasing new equipment\, investing in instructional programs\, or offering financial assistance to officers injured in the line of duty. \nNational Night Out or The Jake Laird Community Day as it is known in Westfield\, is an annual\, national event held on the first Tuesday of August.  The event is designed to bring communities and the police together under positive circumstances. \nThe Westfield Police Department provides information about police programs with safety demonstrations and exhibits. Other local organizations also participate in the day to inform the public of services available in the community. Visitors enjoy a free hot dog dinner\, live music\, bounce houses\, and free raffle tickets for the chance to win bicycles and school backpacks. \nSupporting the Westfield Police Department on Jake Laird Community Day is just one example of how funds from Jake’s Foundation are used to benefit police departments all over Indiana.

However\, this time it was going to be a Walk/Run called “The Double.” Held on August 17th in Cool Creek Park\, this inaugural event featured roughly 150 participants from our community. \nThe two-mile walk/run was designed to leave a lasting impact on the lives of our youth\, fostering a sense of unity and purpose. Participants could sign up for one of two divisions: competitive and recreational (family-friendly). We wanted the event to be open to everyone\, allowing families to mix and match their group registrations based on each individual’s interests. \nThe name “The Double” has two different meanings. It references the two-mile course of the event\, while also being a nod towards our mission of ‘doubling the impact’ of WYAP in our community. \nCheck back for details about 2025 “The Double” Walk/Run.
