Future for Lompoc Youth (FLY) has been presented an $80,000 donation from CoastHills Credit Union in support of its mission to empower and prepare local teens for success.

The funds were raised at the 16th annual Rancho Vino benefit held in the fall at Presqu’ile Winery in the Santa Maria Valley.

Hosted by CoastHills Community Foundation in partnership with Presqu’ile Winery, Rancho Vino brought together community leaders, supporters and sponsors for an evening of fine wine, local cuisine, live music, and community collaboration — all in support of youth programming that enriches the lives of Lompoc Valley teens.

“We are deeply grateful for the incredible generosity of CoastHills Credit Union and everyone who participated in Rancho Vino,” said Devika Stalling, executive director of FLY.

“This $80,000 gift will directly advance our efforts in career readiness, mentoring, life skills training, and other vital programs that help our youth build confidence and pursue their future goals,” Stalling said.

Future for Lompoc Youth provides a range of programming aimed at equipping teens with the tools they need to thrive. From workforce readiness to community engagement, FLY’s initiatives are designed to inspire young people to dream big and achieve their full potential.

Future for Lompoc Youth said it extends its heartfelt appreciation to all Rancho Vino attendees, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners.
