We have received numerous inquiries regarding children wearing Carver YMCA basketball jerseys and soliciting funds from motorists on the highway. This is not the fundraising method for the YMCAs in Atlanta. We hold an annual fundraising campaign once a year in the spring to raise funds for scholarships for youth. These teens are NOT authorized by the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta. Due to their nomadic activities, they continue to solicit funds by approaching individuals. We are frustrated because this is a continual problem. Please do NOT contribute to these young people, and we strongly encourage you to notify the police when you see them.
