TRMC Foundation donates to Tiftarea YMCA
Pictured (L-R): Joe Pope, YMCA Board Member/TRMC Foundation Vice-Chair; Mandy Brooks, Executive Director; and Jason Bishoff, Tiftarea YMCA CEO.
 
The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently donated $15,000 to the Tiftarea YMCA in Tifton, GA. 
 
These funds will be used to provide nourishment for the Tiftarea YMCA’s after school program. The program begins with a daily devotion, nutrition, time for tutoring/homework and outdoor enrichment activities and games. Speaking engagements from community leaders are encouraged, as it allows the children to learn about different professions in our area. Before COVID-19, this program fed approximately 450-500 children at eight outreach sites throughout the community in the Summer time and two afterschool sites with approximately 50-60 kids per day during the school year.
 
The TRMC Foundation is excited to partner with the Tiftarea YMCA on this worthy project. The Foundation is a community sponsor and efforts are used on medical equipment for local and surrounding county emergency medical services; as well as assistance within the community.
