Three generations of "Y women" here! When I started working for the Y three years ago, I learned my mom took her first swim lessons at the ol' Southside Y on Grand in St. Louis City. Of course she did - the Y is where kids learn to swim!

Olivia took swim lessons at the South City Y, the replacement for the Grand location. Now she's enjoyed many summers in camp there, and we as parents are grateful that she's in a safe place, having fun, making friends, and learning new things.

Not everyone has that opportunity. Many kids and families wouldn't have these opportunities but for the financial assistance the Y offers. Will you help me ensure there's Opportunity for All kids to learn to swim and attend camp like Olivia does? Thank you!
