Jennifer 's Holcomb Family YMCA 2022 Annual Campaign
Fundraising for The YMCA of Greater Houston
Story
This year, I joined the inaugural advisory board of the Holcomb Family Y, and, before joining, I definitely thought of the Y as a provider of group exercise classes, summer camps, and youth sports. And it is definitely all of that. But for those that know me, you know those are not things that normally make me weak at the knees.
What I am most stoked about is the service aspect of this new YMCA. Holcomb Y is bringing many critical support programs to our neighbors in the community, including teen mental health groups, scholarship programs for underserved kiddos, and community outreach programs offering school supplies, food pantries, and ESL classes. I am humbled to give some of my time to help ensure that those living in difficult circumstances will benefit from the life-changing programs, resources, and institutional support that the Y can provide. And the impact they are already having is pretty amazing!
That's my share... now here's my ask:
Please consider making a donation to their 2022 annual campaign. ALL dollars raised through the JustGiving link below stay exclusively in the community served by the Holcomb Family Y, and every single dollar raised in this campaign is spent solely on service and support programs.
Instead of grabbing a coffee a few times this week, you can sponsor 10 school supply-filled backpacks for those in need.
Instead of heading to the cinema for some tickets and popcorn, you can provide a sports season scholarship.
Instead of going out to lunch a few times in the coming weeks, you can underwrite a teen mental health support group.
And if giving doesn't feel quite right at this moment, you can still help by spreading the word of the amazing things happening at this and every other YMCA. If you're interested in giving time, let me know and we can find the perfect volunteer opportunity for you.
If we want to see change, we must be the change!
