The Eastern Lycoming Branch YMCA is one of the 2,617 YMCAs that serve more than 20.2 million people each year, including 9.2 million children.  Our annual Strong Kids Campaign is a fundraising effort to increase support for the branch's scholarship fund.  Proceeds from the Strong Kids Campaign will fund scholarships that allow children and families who otherwise may not be able to benefit from YMCA programs such as child care, day camp, or programs for at-risk youth.  

The YMCA offers kids and families the chance to make positive choices.  Quality child care opportunities means that parents can work toward improving their quality of life.  Youth sports programs give kids a chance in belonging to a team devoted to making a positive difference.  And, healthy lifestyle programs offer everyone in the family a chance to lead healthier, more productive lives.

SUPPORT THE Y AND WATCH YOUR COMMUNITY GROW STRONGER

"We are proud to be able to meet the growing needs of our community by providing financial assistance to individuals and families who want and need YMCA programs, but may not otherwise be able to afford them," says Mark Casson, Eastern Lycoming Branch Executive Director.  "In 2009, the Eastern Lycoming Branch YMCA awarded $50,000 in scholarships to children and families in our community."

“Children and families in our community need and deserve the family-oriented programs and services our YMCA can provide," said Geoff Arthur, Campaign Chairperson.  "Few things are more important than a healthy lifestyle, strong community, positive role models and quality time spent together as a family.”

At the heart of community life in Eastern Lycoming County, our mission-driven YMCA is “a place to belong” and to live the values that guide and unite our members: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.  The YMCA provides a special opportunity for kids and adults to join life-changing and life-saving programs, such as day camp, child care, youth sports, water safety, before and after school care, and many more!
