  • In honor of the 20th anniversary of September 11, we are proud to offer free admission to all first responders and all service men and women—active, reserve, retired, or veterans—as a small token of our gratitude for their dedication and sacrifice. Thank you for your service and for all that you do for our communities and our country. 

While the town of Milford pays the salaries of three full-time staff members, utilities and maintenance expenses, we rely on fundraising to pay for all other expenses including additional staff and programming, amounting to over $75,000 per year! That’s why our fundraising, and YOUR contribution, is so important. By attending, making a donation, and/or contributing a raffle prize, you help ensure we have the supplies, additional staffing and physical fitness/educational programming needed to keep the Center going. In addition, your contribution will help fund annual scholarships for Milford High School graduates who attended, volunteered and/or worked at the Center! 

By providing Milford youth with a safe environment during after-school hours and through monthly events, we hope to address adolescent risk factors and promote a partnership among community members that help ensure the health and safety of local youth. We have been in our renovated facility for over six years and have over 500+ registered After School members for this school year alone. That number continues to grow each day.  We know we are making a difference in the lives of Milford youth; we just need your help to ensure that impact continues. 

If you would like to donate a raffle for the event and/or purchase tickets, please email jward@townofmilford.com!
