Those dollars will be used to help support the center in its mission to provide shelter for local homeless youth and to promote a safe environment for at-risk children to heal, regain hope and transition into adulthood confidently.

"We know that hope and healing is an inside-out job," said Christina Vela, the CEO for St. Jude's Ranch for Children. "Every little moment where they can express themselves, helps them build a brighter future."
