Gaffney’s and Saratoga Springboard Team Up to Support Saratoga Mentoring

By Staff Report | Business

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Springboard, a group of young, professional volunteers dedicated to empowering non-profits in Saratoga County has teamed up with Saratoga Mentoring to enhance programming in the community. Saratoga Mentoring is a program deeply rooted in Saratoga Springs that has been providing services to youths in challenging circumstances for more than 20 years.

Saratoga Springboard will be hosted a fundraising dinner at Gaffney’s Restaurant on Wednesday, May 15. Gaffney’s donated 20 percent of the proceeds from all dining room purchases.

In working with past project partners such as Caffé Lena, Franklin Community Center and Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, Saratoga Springboard has provided a signature fundraising events that the agencies themselves carry out in subsequent years.

"This year, our focus is a bit different," notes Alysa Arnold, founding member and Saratoga Springboard Vice President. The group will be working to raise awareness and establish a marketing plan that coincides with an annual appeal to the community, which Saratoga Mentoring will execute. At the same time, they are looking for unique opportunities to increase funding. "We are so glad to have the support of Gaffney’s in our mission."

Through their partnership, Saratoga Mentoring will unveil a new logo, launch a social media campaign to better connect with the community and educate the public about their mission with the ultimate goal of raising needed funds.

"Saratoga Mentoring is truly remarkable—they care for the entire family unit, not just the children enrolled in the program. They take extreme care to ensure all of the needs of the family are met. It is inspiring to witness and I wish more people were aware of the amazing opportunities they are providing" says Betsy Boland, founding member and Saratoga Springboard President.
