HI there, to all my Swimming friends,
I'm writing to ask you to donate to the YMCA Annual campaign to support scholarships for the many programs offered at the Y for those who qualify - as a member of the Board of Directors at our Y, I am representing the Adult Aquatics programs in this fund raiser. As a group, we have already shown our Y leadership that we are a cohesive group of active and committed folks, who believe in life long fitness. So I hope you read on, and consider making a donation to the 2016 Annual Campaign, using my link pasted below. (or email me, and I will be happy to arrange another payment method for you!!)
As a fellow swimmer, I know you enjoy the benefits of chlorine in your hair, many laps staring at the black line, and having someone push you to do just a little bit more than you thought you could. The YMCA is a place that we all have in common, and I'd like to share some facts to let you know that the YMCA is really so much more.
The YMCA is a unique organization - you already know we are a place for gym, swim and fitness -
But did you know we are a 4 star charitable organization - and 100% of your tax deductible donation will be spent serving people in
our YMCA? Last year, the Bob Sierra YMCA was able to:
- Provide swim lessons and drowning prevention to 378 children who could not otherwise afford it
- Enroll 49 cancer survivors in the Y's Live Strong program that provides support and strengthening as they heal
- Provided over $13,000 in subsidies to allow children to participate in organized sports programs at the Y
- Partner with Big Brother/Big Sisters to allow 50 mentors to bring their "little" to the YMCA
- Served 4,400 kids in summer camps, including a specialized program for children with autism and other developmental disabilities -
And that is just a short list - there are so many other things happening - I'm happy to spend time with any of you to share more stories.
So I want to rally all of you, now.... I am the lead of the fundraiser group for Adult Swim and Masters - and we are challenged to bring in $1500 - I know we can do it!! Let's show our Y leadership that we can, and we care about the kids and families that our Y serves.
Thank you for reading all the way through this email - I hope you will consider making a donation - please use the link below or email me to arrange another payment method -
See you at the pool!
Nancy Westbrook
