2025 Community Impact Goals

Hold Our Youth Tight continues to look for ways to support the youth in our community in memory of Hoyt & Sullivan. Your donations will help us make all of this possible! Have a community impact idea you'd like to share? Let's hear it!

Expression Swing at the Hoyt & Sullivan Memorial Playground

This year our organization is hoping to purchase and install an Expression Swing (also known as a "Mommy and Me" swing) at the Hoyt & Sullivan Memorail Playground.

 

These face-to-face parent-child swings promote family fun and connection, enabling kids and their caregivers to play and engage together.

Hold Our Youth Tight Scholarships

We will continue to award scholarships to a senior from each of the county's community school districts.

Expand Hoyt's Hangry House & Sullivan's Snack Shack

Team HOYT will continue to stock and replenish snacks for this program at the Winterset Elementary school. We are also planning to expand to the Winterset Middle School and other Madison County elementary schools.

Family Fun Nights

Hold Our Youth Tight is working to sponsor family fun nights at the Winterset Aquatic Center, The Iowa Theater, and the Sk8n Station! Check back for more information on dates.

Support Local Youth Activities

Each year Hold Our Youth Tight sponsors local youth teams such as little league, t-ball, rodeo, flag football, etc.

Winterset Middle School Assembly Treats

Students earn Paw Law tickets and can enter those tickets into a drawing to win treats for their class! One class per grade wins each month and they try to have something different each month. This program is a great incentive for kids to work together as teams and reach goals through extrinsic motivators! A link to the wish list is below if you would like to contribute. Any items can be purchased locally instead!

Support The Iowa Theater Capital Campaign

Help the Iowa Theater eliminate their debt and keep their doors open as a safe place for the children in our community to enjoy.

Contribute to Cribs for Kids

Cribs for Kids is an initiative that provides families with a safe sleep space for their child free of charge. 

Support Winterset Elementary's "Finish the Playground" Initiative

Help the Winterset Elementary School meet their goal of finishing a new playground for students and the community.
