Learn. Grow. Thrive.

Partner with Youth
2011 Annual Support Campaign

My first experience with the YMCA was at age five when my mom took me to swim lessons at the Columbus Y. During the last ten years I have been a member of the Lancaster Family Y. I have seen first hand the programs and activities available to our children - regardless of their family income or ability to pay. The Lancaster Family Y has always been a safe haven for our youth.

There is no other non-profit quite like the Family Y. The Family Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident , connected and secure children, adults, families and communities. The support opportunities at the family Y empower people and the community to Learn, Grow and Thrive.

With your financial support in 2011, the Family Y helped change the lives of 392 children. The children received help in aquatics, dance, gymnastics, child care and sports. Donations from 322 individuals made this possible.

Your contribution to the Partner with Youth Campaign is critical to help make this happen again in 2011. Your partnership will ensure the availability of these programs to every child, adult and family. The Family Y community and I appreciate your consideration.

Why your support means so much to the Family Y...

At the YMCA, one of our most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of kids in our community. Children at the YMCA develop self confidence, learn values for the future and grow up stronger and healthier by participating in YMCA programs.

Our annual support campaign helps us achieve the YMCA's basic mission of improving and enhancing the lives of all members.

The Partner with Youth Program allows children to participate in YMCA programs that they otherwise might not be able to afford. The YMCA welcomes everyone, regardless of age, gender, religion, physical ability or income.
