This may sound like something you eat when there is nothing left in the fridge but it is actually a nonprofit based in Ottowa, Illinois. Tyler Amm and his friends co-founded the group in 2009 in response to small town blues. They saw an increase in "bad behavior" among their peers and they wanted to give people in their community a place to hang out without the pressures of daily life. They host numerous events such as talent shows, band showcases and dance parties and hold fundraisers and donation drives for their community. Though they are serious about philanthropy, the group of Fishsticks and Milk always know how to have fun. Many of their funny antics are caught on video and you can check them out on their official facebook page.

KYE-YAC International
KYE -YAC International is a philanthropic organization in Hot Springs, Arkansas created by kids, for kids. Kye Masino, the founder of KYE-YAC , began this group to focus on fundraising efforts to improve health care, education and exposure to the arts so that children can succeed in life. To date, KYE-YAC has raised $30,000 for the Arkansas Rice Depot’s Food for Kids Program, donated money to the Hot Springs YMCA Education and Learning Center and given time and money to local charities in Arkansas. Kye was honored for his efforts as the volunteer of the year by the Arkansas Rice Depot at its annual Thanks-for-Giving luncheon.
Kye Masino will be one of our keynote speakers at YAC Attack! ’12!
