STRONG KIDS CAMPAIGN

---

At the YMCA, one of our most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of kids in our community. But when some are left out, it leaves us all a bit poorer. That’s because giving kids a safe and nurturing place to go benefits everyone. By introducing them to experiences that will help them grow into responsible, successful adults, we make the community we love a better place to live. One child at a time. One family at a time. YMCA programs teach young people important values such as caring, honesty, responsibility and respect. Through a variety of fun and rewarding activities, they also develop valuable skills while they gain confidence and self-esteem. You simply can’t put a price on strengthening and enriching the character of a child.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION HELPS MAKE IT HAPPEN. Membership and program fees at the Shasta Family YMCA do not cover all the costs to support these vital community programs. To ensure that no one is denied a chance to participate because of inability to pay, we truly need your help. Through the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, your contribution helps us provide program support and membership financial assistance to families who need it in our community. Only by working together can we give more kids the opportunity to grow strong in spirit, mind and body.

BIG GOALS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. This year’s Strong Kids Campaign is launched with an ambitious goal of raising $125,000. We ask that you please give generously so that more kids and more families in our community can share the YMCA experience.

Donations from last year’s Strong Kids Campaign helped 1200 families experience the positive effects of YMCA membership, programs and activities.
