YMCA Strong Kids Campaign

Dear YMCA Member,

Each year the YMCA receives many requests for financial assistance from families and individuals in our community so they may access the YMCA programs they need.  Very often, these are families in crisis due to unexpected life changes.

Your support helps them afford programs such as summer camp and sports programs for the kids, wellness activities for the family, social interaction for adults and seniors, and more.

We are able to help only through your generosity.

The annual YMCA Strong Kids Campaign allows us to keep making strides forward, in the lives of thousands of underserved kids in our community.  Your support will assure that no child is denied a chance to participate in YMCA programs or activities due to inability to pay.

The impact we have on children will be our legacy. With every opportunity we give a child in need we increase the likelihood that child will ultimately achieve success in his or her life.  With your help, we can give more kids more opportunities for positive growth.

When you change one life, you change the world.

Whether it’s a place to go after school for a helping hand with homework, a place to learn leadership skills, or a place for the family to play and connect, the YMCA is there.

Please Give

Through the support raised by the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, the YMCA reaches out to children and families throughout our community to provide opportunities that they might not otherwise have.  Your support provides the funds needed to make these programs available, providing the recreational, learning and life-enhancing experiences that build strong kids, strong families, strong communities.

Enclosed, you will find a brochure outlining the gift levels in the Strong Kids Campaign.  However, if you wish, you may donate any amount, and remember all donations are tax-deductible. On behalf of all the children who will have wonderful memories of the Garfield YMCA, thank you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Patricia Gallagher

Executive Director

P.S.   You can give kids the unforgettable memories of childhood with your generosity. Thank you again for your support.
