Letter from the Operations Director
Dear YMCA Members and Friends,
At the South Chicago YMCA, one of the most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of kids in our community. Providing a safe and nurturing place for kids to go benefits everyone. By introducing them to experiences that will help them grow into responsible, successful adults, we make the community we love a better place to live.
YMCA programs teach young people important values such as caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Through a variety of fun and rewarding activities, they also develop valuable skills while they gain confidence and self-esteem. You simply can't put a price on strengthening and enriching the character of a child.
Your Contribution Makes It Happen
Membership and program fees at the South Chicago YMCA do not cover all the costs to support these vital community programs. To ensure that no one is denied a chance to participate because of inability to pay, we truly need your help. Through the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, your contribution helps us provide the program and financial assistance to families who need it in our community. Only by working together can we give more kids the opportunity to grow strong in spirit, mind and body.
Ways to Give:
Visit the membership desk and give a donation to the Giving Tree, purchase a
"Be Strong" shirt or "Strong Kids" water bottle, visit our website www.southchicagoymca.org, or mail your donation to South Chicago YMCA
3039 E 91st Street, Chicago, IL 60617.
All proceeds go toward our 2010 Strong Kids Campaign.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Garcia, Operations Director
