The Fond du Lac Family YMCA launched the community portion of the campaign on March 7th<\/sup>\u00a0 and received financial gifts from 487 people and area businesses. \u00a0As a result of the campaign, the Y will be able to offer financial assistance to help kids have a safe place to learn and build confidence, and help families reconnect and grow together.\u00a0 The Y will be able to provide people in our community access to chronic disease prevention programs and help individuals of all ages get healthier and stronger.<\/p>\n As one of the leading nonprofits for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Fond du Lac Family YMCA depends on financial gifts to do its vital work so that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has an opportunity to receive the support and guidance to learn, grow and thrive. The Fond du Lac Family YMCA believes that when people have a place to feel welcome, have someone to encourage them, and have opportunities to participate in activities that interest them, they are more likely to identify and achieve their personal goals.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Y is about moving us all forward,\u201d Greg Giles, CEO of the Fond du Lac Family\u00a0YMCA said, \u201cand it takes a community that cares to do it. \u00a0We are more than a place for a quick morning workout; we\u2019re on the leading edge of chronic disease prevention. We are more than a place for older adults to get a cup of coffee; we\u2019re a vital social network of support. The Y is so much more than a place to go; it\u2019s a place where people from all backgrounds come together to make their community stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>To learn how to join, give or volunteer, contact Kim Laws at the Y at 920-921-3330, klaws@fdlymca.org<\/a>, or visit fdlymca.org<\/a>\u00a0 for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thanks to the generous contributions of the community, the Fond du Lac Family YMCA\u2019s Annual Support Campaign has raised $218,820, to help children and families in need, participate in YMCA programs.
