Strong Kids Matter

As many of you know, the YMCA is a huge part of our lives. We have been members for as long as we can remember, Lee is a part-time employee, I am a member of the Board, and the girls have basically grown up there, attending Child Watch from a very young age and learning to swim in the pool. Each year, our Y's annual fundraising campaign (which I chaired last year) focuses on kids and all of the money that we raise during the Strong Kids Campaign benefits underprivileged kids and families in Middlesex county. The Y makes the most of every donation it receives and just a small amount can make a huge impact:
- for $5/month ($60), 1 child gets 5 weeks of swimming lessons
- for $10/month ($120), 6 middle school girls get 24 Y Be Fit classes
- for $20/month ($240), 4 kids and their parents get a 5 session gym & swim experience
Although we know that, now more than ever, money is tight, we ask that you please consider donating to the Strong Kids Campaign so that families (and especially their kids!) that are having a tough time can experience the wonders that the Y offers.
