History:
One day we were sitting around thinking about putting on a Easter Egg Hunt event for the youth in our communities. So Tina Royal, Demitris Royal, and Shamarquis Horton put together a plan and asked several friends to join in, we all organized the first annual โThump the Yardโ Easter โEggโstravanga for our youth at Finch Park in Lexington, NC. We then continued to come up with other ideas that youth could attend, and our motto became, โHosting events where a kid can be a kidโ
Over the years we continued to host other events such as teaming up to help support the Annual Back to School Pool Party, Halloween Costume Party, end of the school year skating party, youth cotillion, and our annual signature event โWinter Wonderland Ballโ along with several other events.
Our organization is now a non-profit charity since Tina Royal and her friend Anna Kiser decided to keep the group going. We were in incorporated in September 2018 and are now officially called Anything For Our Youth Group, Inc.
