What's New at the Elmhurst YMCA This Summer?
Did you know your Elmhurst YMCA gives away over $200,000 in scholarships each year so that kids, families and individuals can be members and participate in programs here? All those funds are raised by our amazing staff and volunteers.
For example, our annual dinner dance in March brought in over $40,000 to make sure everyone who wants to be a member has that opportunity regardless of their ability to pay.
Also, at the end of May, a bus load of Cubs fans (and one White Sox fan!) set off to watch the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers at our 11th Annual Dr. Bob Memorial Cubs Outing. Thanks to our awesome attendees and wonderful sponsors, we were able to add close to $4,000 to our scholarship fund.
Whether it is through attending one of these great events or simply writing a check, please consider contributing to our annual fund. You never know whose life
you will change by allowing them to make friends by participating in our day camp or to control their diabetes by walking on a treadmill or working out in
our fitness classes.
On another note, don't let the nice weather keep you from your exercise routine! Register for our summer fitness challenge, and stay motivated to make time for your health and wellness. Keep an eye out in July for a launch of new BodyPump and BodyCombat classes. Also, keep in mind, if your child is 12 or over, he or she is able to use our fitness center after going through the Commit to be Fit program. Sign up your kids now, and keep them moving all summer long, too.
Thanks so much for being a member of the Elmhurst YMCA, and have a safe summer!
Maureen McCarthy, Executive Director
