More than ever,
kids need what the YMCA can give
them.
Nowhere does the YMCA have a greater impact than
on the life of a child. Y Programs shape the
lives of children with healthy activities, skill
building and character development. The Y
provides teens with a safe place to socialize and learn
leadership skills with positive role models.
Working parents are assured of safe, supervised after
school care and child care.
Why we need
you to invest in youth.
Our pledge is to never turn away a
child from our programs because of inability to
pay. Often, those are the kids who need us
most and the number continues to grow. If a child
is unable to pay for membership or program
participation, financial assistance in the form of
scholarships are provided by generous donors of the
Invest in Youth Campaign.
Your gift
counts 100 percent.
Your gift makes a difference ---
100 percent of every dollar we raise in our annual
Invest in Youth Campaign goes directly to financial
assistance scholarships.
That's
why each year we count on you - Please Give.
Last year, over 8,700 children and
families received financial assistance
scholarships. Help the YMCA continue its
important work with the children and teens in our
community. When a volunteer contacts you this
fall, please give generously.
