Thank you to everyone who participated in our first "My Y Week" celebration in December! We hope you enjoyed the bake sale, tot spot ornaments, cycle-a-thon, & learned a lot about the impact our YMCA makes in our community!
We are pleased to report that during our Y Week alone more than 130 people donated a total of $1,090.91 to the YMCA Annual Giving Campaign! To date, the grand total pledged to our campaign is $34,079.61, & we're working diligently to meet our $40,000 goal.
The Y will use these funds in 2016 to provide financial assistance to area families, develop & continue our community outreach initiatives, fund Y programs & more. Please consider making a donation if you haven't done so already.
Together, we are strengthening our community. Thank you!
