Charlotte County Family YMCA

2012 Campaign

At the Charlotte County Family YMCA we never turn away a child because they cannot afford to pay for our programs. Often those who need financial help are the ones who need the YMCA the most. Every dollar raised goes directly to the financial assistance program.

Making the YMCA accessible to all children is the foundation of the Young Men’s Christian Association which has been in existence since 1844. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift today or pass this message on to someone who can help.

Ways to Make a Difference:

“Kaylie is age 6 and lives with her grandmother with a limited income. She participated in the YMCAs Basketball Program with the program fee assistance. Like the other children, Kaylie had the opportunity to make friends, learn some skills, and have an enjoyable experience.” - Jane P.

“After my wife passed away unexpectedly in May this year, I had no idea what to do or how to continue on with taking care of our 6 month old son. The Y was there for me and automatically granted me a scholarship so I could put our lives back together. I am truly grateful for the Y and what they have done for my son and I.” - Joshua F.

“I can’t express enough how much the Y-Assist Scholarship has helped my husband and I make a better home for our son. Without the scholarship, I would not be able to put him in a quality facility. We are truly grateful.” - Susan S.

“Our daughter recently participated in the YMCA’s T-Ball program with the fee assistance. Like the other children, she had the opportunity to make friends, learn some skills and have an enjoyable experience.” - David N.
