YMCA reaches 75 percent of Strong Kids goal
The YMCA of the Northwoods is now celebrating raising $71,872 for the annual Strong Kids Campaign.
The Strong Kids Campaign provides financial support to families and individuals to participate in YMCA programs and services. Funds raised directly support the Y’s cause of strengthening communities by nurturing the potential of every youth and teen, improving the community’s health and well-being, and providing opportunities to give back and support our neighbors.
Providing financial support is critical to the Y’s goal of ensuring that everyone has access to programs and services that support their individual health and well-being.
“At the YMCA of the Northwoods, we count on the generosity of our donors and volunteers to make a meaningful impact on our community,” said Kim Swisher, 2012 Strong Kids Campaign Chair, YMCA of the Northwoods. “We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in the health of our children and our community.”
Gifts to the YMCA of the Northwoods make a direct impact to the community. Last year, financial support made it possible to assist more than 1,000 individuals and families who otherwise could not afford a membership or participation in Y programs.
The 2012 Strong Kids Campaign goal is $95,000. The Strong Kids Campaign supports programs and community activities including Summer Camp, Not So Scary Halloween Trail and Swim With Santa.
