We hope that you and your family are staying healthy and finding ways to stay physically active during this pandemic. Our hearts and prayers continue to go to all those impacted by recent events occurring across our nation. Let us continue to spread God’s love across all of our communities.
This is a challenging time for everyone involved with CYO Sports and Camp Howard. As many of you know, CYO Spring Sports and summer camp at Camp Howard were cancelled. Our upcoming Fall and Winter Sports Programs are being evaluated and are dependent upon the direction of our state and local governments, Archdiocese, and facilities that CYO uses to conduct its programs. At some future point, we expect to deliver the positive experience and spirit of CYO, keeping health and wellbeing as our top priority.
Due to safety concerns and government restrictions on large gatherings, we are unable to offer our Champions of Faith Benefit Dinner in September. We have postponed our 10th Annual Champions of Faith Benefit dinner until Wednesday, October 20, 2021.
It is very difficult to shut down our business and furlough valuable employees; however, our PPP funding will expire at the end of June, and without programs operating, we must reduce to a skeleton staff. Cathy Foy, Vicky Martinez and Karen von Borstel will remain to handle essential activities that continue in spite of program closures. Though furloughed, I will continue to work remotely. All other employees will be furloughed until further notice.

I would like to thank families who have contributed cancelled program fees and made donations to help sustain us. If you are able to donate to our ongoing operations, we would be incredibly grateful. You can make a gift at cyocamphoward.org. With your support, we’ll be ready to serve our area’s youth when it is safe and viable to do so. Thank you and we look forward to connecting with you soon.
God bless,
