Our Mission

For more than two decades, the Ken-Ton Friends of Youth Foundation has been dedicated to investing in the future of young people throughout the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda community. Through the generosity of donors, sponsors, and community partners, the Foundation has awarded more than $200,000 in educational grants to local students, helping them pursue higher education and achieve their goals. Guided by a board of passionate volunteers who care deeply about the community, the Foundation remains committed to creating opportunities for future generations. As the needs of local students continue to evolve, Ken-Ton Friends of Youth looks forward to expanding its impact and growing its support for the youth and families who make our community strong.
