The ABC YPG selected Families in Transition-New Horizons as this year’s charity recipient — a nonprofit organization that provides housing and services for homeless individuals and families in order to help them reach beyond the cycle of homelessness and lead healthy and successful lives.

The ABC YPG donated all proceeds from team registration fees, raffle ticket sales, donations from the construction industry companies in attendance, and event sponsorships — led by Kingpin sponsor Thunderbolt Pipeline based in Dover — to Families in Transition-New Horizons, totaling $4,500 in cash and over $500 in pantry donations.

In 2018, the ABC YPG expanded its efforts by hosting educational sessions, developing a scholarship fund, and awarding the organization’s first annual Young Professional of the Year honor at their annual September social event.
