GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITYFinancial assistance keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us most. We count on the generosity of our members and community to help people of all ages and from all walks of life be more healthy, confident, connected and secure.

THE Y’S ANNUAL CAMPAIGNFinancial assistance is offered to individuals and families who cannot afford memberships or programs. We raise funds through our Annual Campaign to ensure the Y is accessible to all people. This year 1 in 5 people who walk through our doors will receive financial assistance for part of their membership and/or program cost.

She counted on the Y to help her achieve success. “I really appreciate theY’sfinancialassistanceIreceivedafter my accident that allowed me to be physically active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.” In three years she lost 90 pounds. A year after the cycling crash, she was injured in a car accident.

“Swimming in the Y’s pool and going to yoga class helped me to regain my strength,” she says. “Yoga taught me how to stay calm during times I wanted to give up.” Of all of her challenges, leaving an abusive relationship “was the hardest thing I ever had to do,” Leah says. Many people have taken notice of Leah’s courage to change. She’s invited to speak at various venues to motivate others with her “You Go Girl!” attitude.

YMCA’S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAMCHANGE TODAY FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE You can reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes and gain tools for healthy living.

DID YOU KNOW? • About 86 million American adults have prediabetes,

up from 79 million in 2010.

• People with prediabetes are likely to develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years, unless they take action to prevent or delay the disease.

• Diabetes is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease and nerve disease.

THE GOOD NEWS . . . Lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, increasing physical activity and losing 7% of your weight can prevent or delay development of type 2 diabetes in those at high risk for the disease. With the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, you can work with others in a small group setting to learn how to adopt habits that will improve your overall health and well-being and reduce your risk. The program, which is led by a trained Lifestyle Coach in a classroom setting, is delivered over a 12-month period, beginning with 16 weekly sessions transitioning to bi-weekly then monthly maintenance.
