2008 Strong Kids Campaign
Help us build strong kids
"My family and I are very grateful to the Strong Kids Campaign sponsors for giving us the opportunity to be members of the YMCA family. We will appreciate this our entire lives. I would like to thank everyone involved in giving those in need a chance to better themselves and enhance their lives. I hope to one day be on the giving end so that we can help teach how good it feels to give." -John, 2007 Strong Kids Recipient
"Thank you for givning my daughter a place to belong. My daughter is five and is in the Preschool program and takes swim lessons. She looks forward to coming to the Y and seeing her friends." - Amanda, 2007 Strong Kids Recipient
From preschool and safe afterschool programs to physical fitness for all ages to outdoor adventures at Camp Campbell Gard...the YMCA is there, teaching lifelong values, healthy habits and offering opportunities to build relationships so that all individuals can realize the importance of a healthy spirit, mind and body. Unfortunately, many families who could greatly benefit from programs and services provided by the YMCA cannot afford to participate. The Strong Kids Campaign ensures that the Y is a place for everyone and that no one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
Your generosity gives more than 2,000 kids and adults the opportunity to experience the YMCA. With your help, we can reach our goal of $450,000 to help change the lives of individuals within our community. A donation in any amount is welcomed and appreciated.
