Recap of the 2025 Banquet

Hello Committee,

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making the annual Cypress Young Life Banquet a success. We had an incredible turnout and raised a huge percentage of our budget! We especially want to shoutout Luan Moore for her beautiful decorations and creating lovely flower arrangements for each of our Table Hosts to take home. We say it often but never quite enough- we could not continue this ministry without you all. Thank you all for your continuous prayer, support, encouragement, and service to the mission of Young Life.

This year’s banquet was the most successful one to date! We had the largest number of guests and raised the most money than any Cypress Banquet in the past. In fact, we raised over $100,000 more than we did at last year’s banquet. Here are some fun statistics from the night:

• $315,668 raised
• Only 12% “no show” rate
• 408 guests attended
• 111 new donors gave for the first time
• 62%¹ of our $756,000 yearly budget raised

1. this percentage includes pre-banquet giving and pledged gifts ↩︎

Again, we could not have had such a successful night without you all. We praise God for all that He provided and trust that He is always with us as we spread His truth to high schoolers across Cypress.

In Him,

Cypress Young Life Staff
