CALLICOON, NY — The Delaware Youth Center received a donation from the Monticello office of Marshall & Sterling this holiday. Employees of Marshall & Sterling donated $5 in exchange for wearing jeans on Fridays in 2014, for a total of $525. After months of collecting, one participating employee’s name was chosen. That employee, sales executive Anne Backlund, was able to choose the charity that would benefit from the year’s efforts. Backlund chose the Delaware Youth Center’s Pool Fund, an ongoing fundraiser to replace the more than 50-year-old pool at the Callicoon facility. She presented the donation to the Youth Center’s Summer Program and Youth Activities director Christina Mace and finance director Ann Santoro. Additional donations are still being accepted for the pool, which will cost an estimated $1 million. Donations can be made online at http://www.gofundme.com/DYC-needs-a-new-pool.
