YMCA FUNDRAISER: GOAL TO RAISE $20,000
Annual Strong Kids Campaign
Helps Kids in Need Join YMCA Programs
The Eastern Lycoming YMCA is one; of the nations 2,617 YMCA’s that serve more than 20.2 million people each year, including 9.5 million children. Our annual Strong Kids Campaign is a fundraising effort to increase support for the Eastern Lycoming Branch YMCA’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 family strengthening YMCA programs such as child care, day camp and programs for at-risk youth.
“We are proud to be able to meet the growing needs of our community by providing financial assistance for individuals and families who want and need YMCA programs but may not otherwise be able to afford them,” said Mark Casson, Branch Executive Director. “In 2009 the Eastern Lycoming Branch YMCA awarded $50,000 in assistance to children and families of our community.”
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 summer camp.
“Children and families in our community need and deserve the family-oriented programs and services the 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.”
The YMCA offers kids and families the chance to make positive choices: Quality child care opportunities mean parents can work to improve their quality of life; youth sports programs give kids the chance to belong to a team devoted to making a positive difference; and healthy lifestyle programs give everyone in the family the chance to lead healthier, more productive lives.
