Greetings!
May is the start of our annual campaign. Our annual campaign raises money in our community so we can continue to offer financial support to parents so they know that their children are safe while they are at work, for a teen to have a positive place in the evening, for adults to feel connected and be active, and to challenge everyone to accomplish their personal best. Our YMCA truly makes a difference in people's lives for countless reasons. Without support from our members, volunteers, staff and board of directors, our YMCA could not do that.
In 2010 our YMCA provided over $200,000 support to over 1,300 families. How can you help your YMCA to help others? Come to our annual campaign kick off on May 12th at 6:00 p.m. at Anthony's to hear how we are impacting lives and don't forget to make a donation to this year's annual campaign. Join us on June 6th for our first annual Putting for a Purpose Golf Tournament. Give your Y a high five by adding $5 on to your monthly draft. Become a fundraising volunteer.
We need your help to continue impacting our community and making a difference in lives. I hope that you will join us.
