FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE We are proud to present the Ashley Carole

Burbee Memorial Scholarship to children whose

families qualify for financial assistance for swim

lessons. This scholarship is for 3 consecutive

months of swim lessons for children who wouldn't otherwise

have the opportunity to learn this life-saving skill. Ashley Burbee

was the Head Lifeguard at the Portage Township YMCA in 2008,

when she tragically lost her life in a vehicle accident. Her family

and the Y wish for her love of aquatics to live on through her

memorial fund and the scholarships provided to kids in Portage.
