From YMCA Donor To YMCA Fund Raiser

We joined the YMCA when COVID ended. I am not an athlete. I was hesitant to join because my previous gym experiences confirmed my lack of athleticism. But COVID isolation was over and we were committed to reversing the loafing about habit that had become way to comfortable.

So, why did we decide to become fund raisers instead of simply making donations? Because we have seen the Coal Creek YMCA in action. We know anyone that comes through their doors will find support. Support for whatever need is unique to them. Children, athletes, beginning athletes, teenagers, senior citizens are welcome. Everyone is surrounded by fellow members that want to succeed and want to see others succeed with them. Your best attempt is always good enough. And everyone has fun.

During the campaign Clay and I will check in and keep you updated on what is happening at the Coal Creek YMCA. And we will share some stories about our journeys.

Please take a look at all the YMCA is doing to support the needs of our community.

Youth Development - Our before and after school programs, camps, and outdoor leadership opportunities promote social and emotional growth, encourage physical activity, and allow kids to explore their passions.

Access for All - To provide equal access for everyone, the Y offers income-based financial assistance for its branches and programs, ensuring that financial constraints don't prevent anyone from using our services.

Whole Person Health - We offer support for whole person health through customized wellness plans, disease prevention classes, and counseling and health services for under-resourced communities.
