SPIN-A-THON
+ ZUMBA-THON 2015
RARITAN VALLEY YMCA
It’s time to gear up for the Raritan Valley Y’s 2015 Spin-a-Thon! This annual event exemplifies the power of community – as
we discover the impact we can have when we all come together for a common cause. Win opportunity for others while you
ride to raise money and attention to the good works of the YMCA. In 2014, the Spin-a-Thon raised more than $5,000 to
kickoff a successful Annual Campaign. Don’t spin; then dance! The funds raised through this campaign had a lasting impact
on so many (the homeless, the poor, the ill, the distressed) as in the following ways:
• Assists low-income youth and families with scholarships to summer camp, swim lessons, memberships and programs
• Supports free YMCA services such as healthy kids day, learn to swim clinics, special needs use, facilities for the homeless

Start a spin team — be a captain; bring 4– 8 riders/sponsors

Join a Team — sign up and we will place you — obtain sponsors

Sponsor a team, a portion of the event or prizes

Participate in the Zumba-thon at 9am

Contribute to the cause; make a donation to the Y camper fund

What is the Strong Kids Campaign?
The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign is an annual fundraising campaign focused on providing
memberships and program assistance to kids and families who might not otherwise be able to
afford to pay for opportunities they need to live healthier, happier lives. YMCA programs such as
child care, camp, swim lessons and youth sports do more than teach skills, they instill
confidence and responsibility. These experiences have a strong impact on kids, helping them
grow into healthy and productive adults. With your help, everyone can have the opportunity to
benefit from a YMCA membership no matter their financial limitations.
For example:
 $75.00 provides a special needs child swim lessons.
 $200.00 prevents a child from being home alone or on the streets, because they are
funded in the YMCA after school program.
 $550.00 sends two children to summer camp for one week.
 $1000 underwrites the costs of our support to the homeless
 $2000 funds our free outreach instructional swim program
