Y KICKS OFF ANNUAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT CAMPAIGN


GREENVILLE, OH (February 22, 2012) – The YMCA of Darke County officially kicked off its Annual Community Support Campaign on Thursday, February 16th. The Annual Community Support Campaign is the Y’s main fundraising effort to secure funding for its Scholarship Assistance Program as well as subsidize mission-based programming. Financial support from the community keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us the most. These programs include membership, health and wellness programs, Day Camp and childcare. We count on the generosity of our members and community to help people of all ages and from all walks of life to be more healthy, confident, connected and secure. When you give to the Y, your gift will have a meaningful, enduring impact right in your own neighborhood. This year’s goal is to raise $60,000. The Campaign kicked off with $21,882 already pledged or received due to the generosity of the Board of Directors, Y staff, and local businesses. “We are so fortunate to have a strong Y in our county,” states Eileen Litchfield, Annual Campaign Vice Chair. “I love seeing people of all ages using it!” This year’s theme is “It’s a Brand New Day”.

The Y is the unparalleled cause for strengthening community because we ARE the community. We are a powerful association of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility. The Annual Community Support Campaign will conclude on Thursday, April 12th. To learn more about the Annual Community Support Campaign or to make your tax-deductible gift, contact Gail Hostuttler, Executive Director, at 548-3777, ext. 22; Jeff Kniese, Annual Campaign Chair; or Eileen Litchfield, Annual Campaign Vice Chair.
