Each Spring BCYMP hosts a fun, sporty fundraising event called G.A.M.E., an acronym for the qualities BCYMP Mentors help instill in their K-12 grade Mentees: Goals, Attitude, Motivation & Excellence.

Our GAME fundraisers gives you the opportunity to support BCYMP Mentoring Pairs and celebrate the power of shared activities to strengthen relationships and build memories. Brought to you by our Event Sponsor, First Bank & Trust,  GAME Ticket Sheets feature favorite activities that participants in BCYMP and others enjoy in Brookings!

Here's how it works:

During April, BCYMP will sell ticket sheets with four tear-off activity tickets, one each to Cinema 8, The Lanes, Dakota Nature Park, and Tee'd Off. Each ticket will cost $40 but have a face value of $124 in shared experiences and fun memories for buyers to enjoy with their friends and families. If you'd prefer, we welcome tickets to be donated back to BCYMP for a Mentoring Pair to use.

Each Ticket Sheet purchase will also give the purchaser entry into any remaining April drawings. (Earlier you buy ticket sheet = more drawings you will be a part of!) If you choose to purchase multiple ticket sheets or make an add a donation onto your initial ticket sheet purchase you will be entered into a Bonus drawing that will happen May 1st! 

Thank you to First Bank & Trust for being our Main Sponsor this year! Additionally, four other businesses are BCYMP's G.A.M.E. 2024 Activity Sponsors: GDM Solutions, Inc., Valero Renewable Fuels of Aurora, Civil Design, Inc., and Banner Associates, Inc.
