that all children are included, regard-

less of their ability to pay. Yearly, more

than 2,500 youth in our service area

participate in our programs, activities

and events. The Y Day Camp for chil-

dren ages 6-14 at Camp Pet-O-Se-Ga

on Pickerel Lake serves more than 300

campers per year. YMCA Leadership

to build leadership skills and tackle

community service projects. And the Y-

Center is a great place for kids grades

4th and up to hang out with friends

and have fun after school.

fees.

ers the opportu-

nity to round-up

their purchase to

the nearest whole

dollar, donating

the difference. All

hancing programs we offer.

ber, is a special opportunity for you to reach out and help

those in our community who need it most. It is an op-

portunity to support the overall work of the YMCA in yourcommunity. There are endless stories of families who

benet from Y character building programs. All children

should have the opportunity to participate in these pro-

grams.

In 2010, hundreds of kids received nancial assistance

for memberships and programs thanks to your support

of the annual Strong Kids Campaign. Please join us this

year. You can give someone a winning chance by sup-

porting them in the YMCA programs and making a lasting

mpact on their lives. Your contribution will be the driving

force that helps give every kid the chance to be a Y kid.
