The following is an overview of the Revenue and Expense items for the SYB programs. It is meant only as an overview and does not contain detailed breakdowns.

Fee Structure
SYB BUDGET PHILOSOPHY / 2019-2020 SEASON FEES

Clinic $85.00
Town $140.00
Travel $350.00
Town & Travel $400.00
Senior $140.00

As a non-profit organization, SYB operates its yearly budget to cover costs with a targeted safety cushion of 5%. The budget is not intended to make money. In recent years SYB began tracking expenses by divisions (Clinic, Town, Travel and Senior) so that division fees could be fairly assessed. We determined that the Travel program had been subsidized by other divisions, and was consistently losing money, with 2007-2008 season topping at -17%. Our goals are to cover costs with a 5% safety cushion; maintain or augment the present level of services we provide; and make the divisions self-sufficient. In this regard we have determined fees can remain the same this year.
