“Building Strong Kids Campaign”
YMCA Annual Support Campaign
|
|
| |
How
does the YMCA
offer financial assistance?
Every year YMCAs conduct an annual campaign where people are given
the opportunity to financially support mission-based
programs and to provide funding to furnish financial
assistance to those who want to participate but cannot
afford program or membership fees.
This fall will kick off the fifth annual
“Building Strong Kids Campaign” October 21-
November 17, 2008 . An
annual campaign is all about telling the story of the
YMCA and asking for financial support. The goal for
2008 will be to raise $40,000, but most importantly
the campaign will allow board members to tell the
story of the YMCA and giving creates ownership in the
community. Special recognition will be offered for
those meeting the Chairman's Roundtable Challenge to
contribute $1,000 to the annual campaign.

"Member-Get-A-Member
Campaign" |
|
| |
There
are lots of benefits to being a member of the YMCA
and we’ve just added another—a FREE YMCA
duffle bag and devotional book. Between
September 1 and September 30, YMCA
members can bring a friend to the YMCA
for a free tour/day pass AND, if they join, the
current member and the new members will BOTH receive a
cool YMCA
duffle bag and a YMCA
daily devotional book by Oswald Chambers.
Members must accompany the potential new member when
they sign up for membership to qualify for the free
gifts. So why not recruit a friend, neighbor or
relative to be your new workout partner? You’ll both
feel great! For more information, call 385-1818 or
toll free 877-385-YMCA
.

Track |
|

Members of the Long Branch Area YMCA are sure to be
excited with the upcoming improvement of surfacing the
indoor walking track with a 100% rubber

surface. The project should begin this fall and
will take approximately 3 weeks to complete. The
YMCA facility will remain open however the track will
be closed during the few weeks of installing the
surface. The top layer is made of unique
sealskin embossing which allows for easy maintenance
and excellent traction. The coefficient of
friction and shore hardness meets requirements of
walking activities and is
ADA
approved for slip resistance. The shock
absorption layer provides unparalleled safety and
comfort. The total cost of the project is
approximately $55,000 |
