Dear Member,

While it is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of a member of our Freehold Borough Y family, we also want to share with you how our Association is delivering on its promise to support those of “us” in need.

Sciasia Calhoun lost her life in a random act of violence on Route 33 this month. Sciasia leaves behind a one-year old daughter and a devastated family full of questions, emptiness and the responsibility to care for her daughter. Sciasia’s family includes a younger brother and niece that have followed the example she set and are active participants in youth development programs at our Freehold Borough Y. To assist the Calhoun Family in this time of need, we plan to fully subsidize summer camp costs for those children, and we're asking you to make a donation today to help us give them a safe, supportive environment surrounded by caring staff and friends as they begin the healing process. Where society falls short, the Y – and donors like you – step in. Can you help?

This unfortunate tragedy reinforces the need for "us" to take on the most urgent needs in our community together. Our intention is to make sure that all children have safe, caring support that builds the values that will teach them to solve differences through words not guns. The Y is now…as it has always been…a place of possibility and promise for all. Your gift will allow us to keep doing our work, as we have for over 120 years.

Your donation to the Y is an investment in our children, our community, and the future of "us" .

Thank You!
