The impact of your gift will be felt when:• A kindergartner starts school ready to learn because

he attended the Y’s early learning center.• Kids have a safe, nurturing environment to

go to after school and in the summer.• A parent spends quality time with their child while playing basketball.• A teen receives tutoring and mentoring to help them

succeed in school and prepare for college.• A child loses weight–and enjoys it–because at the Y, exercise is play.
