TYD’s mission is to encourage and give voice to youth who are in need. This is accomplished through fine arts programs and supplementary teaching.
As a first step to achieving that mission, TYD developed partnerships with schools. It is now widely recognized as a Service Provider of activities that strengthen the artistic, social and academic skills of third through twelfth grade students.
As a working charity, TYD generates revenue by providing schools with support to deliver measurable, cost-effective, on-site instruction to their students. We are also funded through grants and donations.
What does TYD stand for?
TYD is an acronym for Thank You Darlin’, a sincere expression of gratitude that was used by the founder’s mother to make people feel warm, loved and valued. TYD’s use of the phrase reflects the organization’s core belief that America must nurture its youth by helping them to discover their self-worth and value. This will insure the brightest future for us all.
 The Thank You Darlin' Foundation hopes to provide an example for children to follow so that they'll know the power of having an attitude of gratitude. Join them on December 10th for a special presentation where gifted and talented young authors and artists from the Fort Worth ISD after-school program will be showcased as they express their thanks through poetry, dance and song. Light refreshments will be served. The event is free. However, donations will be appreciated. Event information: Saturday, December 10th at 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., Colman Hall at First Jefferson Unitarian Universalist Church, 1959 Sandy Lane, Fort Worth, TX 76112.
