2013 YMCA OF GREATER FORT WAYNE
BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY

TOGETHER.
CHANGING LIVES
Dear FRIENDS,
We have had a remarkable year of delivering extraordinary experiences and impacting lives
right here in our community. People of all ages and walks of life are making connections in
our Y branches and through programs - improving their health, growing as individuals and
serving our community.
Our cause is to strengthen the foundation of our community. This past year, we fulfilled
our cause by impacting the lives of more than 94,000 people. The Y provides the resources
needed to address our most pressing social issues; from preventing chronic diseases and
increasing access to healthy living, to providing safe, secure places for children to learn and
grow through our before and after school programs. At the Y, everyone has the opportunity
to participate. No one is turned away due to the inability to pay. In 2013, 1 out of every 6
people received financial assistance to make a Y membership or program affordable. That’s
almost 17,000 people in 2013! It is our desire to continue to make the Y available to all.
We are also excited about several new growth projects which will help us continue to serve
you. In response to requests from local communities, we launched capital campaigns to
meet the critical needs for Early Learning Child Care Centers in both Whitley and Wells
Counties. Upon completion these centers will provide nurturing environments for almost
200 children who need all day childcare, or before and after school care. In 2013, we also
broke ground on a new Wells County Family Y to be called the Caylor-Nickel Foundation
Family YMCA which is scheduled to open in December 2014. The capital campaign for the
northeast Y in Fort Wayne, to be called the Jackson R. Lehman Family YMCA, is projected to
conclude in 2014 with groundbreaking in late 2015.
The YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne remains a financially strong organization, capable
of addressing critical issues because of the tireless support of members, donors and
volunteers. We are fortunate to be positioned in a very generous and compassionate
community that supports great causes like the Y. Our goal is, and always will be, to improve
the quality of life in our region.
It is with our utmost appreciation to you – our volunteers, donors, partners, staff and
community members – that we present the 2013 BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY. Explore
these pages and you will see our powerful community impact as we help change lives.
Thank you for your support as we continue to serve.

AT THE YMCA OF GREATER FORT WAYNE,
YOU FIND COMMUNITY.
The Y is a nonprofit like no other. That is because across our community,
we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but deliver,
positive change. Walk into any of our branches and you’ll see this is no
empty promise.
We’re every bit as thriving and diverse as the neighborhoods we serve.
And we’re committed to doing everything we can to remain a positive,
welcoming place for all. With our focus on youth development, healthy
living and social responsibility, we know a strong and promising future can
only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
MISSION
STATEMENT
The mission of the
YMCA is to put
Christian principles
into practice through
programs that build
healthy spirit, mind
and body for all.
Gladys isn’t sure where she or her family would be without the
support of the YMCA’s Youth Service Bureau (YSB). And, frankly,
she doesn’t care to know.
Gladys struggled for years with addiction, and her children
often suffered as a result. Because she struggled alone,
thinking she never had the resources or access to
support to help her fight her disease, Gladys found it
incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to provide a home
and stable living situation for herself and her children.
“I probably would have lost my kids,” she says. “The
YSB is the one who stepped in and helped
me.” Working with YSB counselors
and benefiting from a free Y
membership made possible through the
financial assistance program, Gladys
is in successful recovery from her
addiction, and she and her children are
experiencing a new kind of life - one full
of hope, optimism and positive change.
“I got a blessing in disguise,” she
says of the support she received from the YMCA’s Youth
Service Bureau, “which I never thought I would have.”

At the Y we focus on the present, and at the same time, we look to the
future, especially to help shape our community’s next generation of
leaders. Our Teen Leadership Program at the Jorgensen Y is a 9-month
leadership class for teens and young adults. Graduates of the program
earn certification as a member of the YMCA international leadership
movement.
And while that’s important, it’s not certification that draws teens to the
program. It’s the opportunity to make friends, develop relationships and
discover themselves.
The Teen Leadership Program at the Jorgensen Y is just one of numerous
programs focusing on education, leadership and youth development
in our community. Another great example is Team S.O.S. (Students of
Success) at the Renaissance Pointe YMCA which provides student and
parent workshops, college visits, internships, and opportunities for jobshadowing and volunteering.
The Leaders Club at the Parkview Family Y provides teens with leadership training
and participation in volunteer service opportunities. Generation Z at the Jorgensen
Family Y offers an afterschool program for middle schoolers including a healthy snack,
transportation, homework time and activities.
Many branches throughout the Y offer Counselor in Training (C.I.T.) and Leader in Training
(L.I.T.) programs which provide middle and high school students with a sense of leadership as
they learn about themselves and others while assisting counselors during summer day camp
and resident camp activities.
We offer youth development programs because we know our community creates a better
future by investing today in our youth.
We don’t just teach swimming or
coach soccer. We’re about helping
children and teens in our programs
grow—physically, mentally, and
spiritually—from young children
into engaged, active members of our
community.
2013 HIGHLIGHTS
7TH GRADE INITIATIVE:
376 students participated in this
newly launched initiative which offers
a free 1-year membership to every
7th grader in Allen, Wells and Whitley
counties. Participants gained new skills
and knowledge to promote positive
emotional development and good
decision-making.
EARLY CHILDHOOD
& AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS:
The Y is proud to serve our community
by being the largest childcare provider
in the area. With more than 20 Early
Childhood, Before School and After
School care sites our programs pursue
outcomes that improve the health and
wellness of area children, including
teaching kids to make better food and
activity choices.
EARLY LEARNING CHILDCARE:
The Wells and Whitley County Family
YMCA’s both responded to community
needs and developed permanent
solutions for child care in their areas
by planning to add Early Learning Child
Care Centers to their facilities.
YMCA CELEBRATION OF YOUTH AWARDS:
Area high school students are
nominated for this award for
exemplifying the Y’s core values
of caring, honesty, respect and
responsibility. The following students
received a $1,000 college scholarship
and a one year Y membership: Caitlin
Funnell, Wilisha Graham, Corinne
Kauffman and Haley Smethers.
1,834
kids participated in our before-and after
school care programs, and were encouraged
to reach their fullest potential in a
welcoming, supportive environment.
95%
of at-risk teens counseled through the Youth
Service Bureau’s intervention programs got
back on track academically and avoided the
juvenile justice system.
433
kids experienced the thrill of nature,
character building and lifelong friendships
at YMCA Camp Potawotami’s summer
resident camp.
6,961
children gained valuable life skills and built

youth sports programs.
HEALTHY
LIVING
IMPROVING OUR COMMUNITY’S
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.
Blanca Sandoval,
mother to Christian,
Pablo, Blanca Christina
and Cristopher
Four years ago, Blanca was a single mother raising four young children including a son with a significant medical condition. The daily challenges
and hardships she faced led her to an unhealthy lifestyle, including
overeating and excessive sleeping just to help her deal with the stress. Even
at her lowest moments, however, she knew she wanted something better for
her life and for her family. She just didn’t know how to get there.
That’s when she discovered the Y. Even though she didn’t speak English
at the time, she toured a branch of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne and
learned about many programs and services for families - including, most
importantly, the Y’s Financial Assistance program. With financial help from
the Y, Blanca and her family were able to secure a membership - and they
took their first steps on the road to better health and wellness, leaving their
problems behind.
“The day my children and I joined the Y,” Blanca says, “we found a place
where we could leave all of our problems and stresses behind.”
Her children were able to participate in a range of sports and athletic events; Blanca
herself lost 50 pounds. Just as importantly, they feel like they are a part of something
bigger - a community. “At the Y,” she adds, “we are constantly surrounded by friends and
staff members who make us feel welcome and comfortable. They have become our family.”
Blanca says the Y has helped her become healthier, more energetic - and a better mother. She’s
no longer discouraged or stressed by the challenges of her life; now, she says, she is “strong,
beautiful and joyful.”
“Four years ago, I discovered the YMCA, and four years ago, I discovered my home.”
At the Y, we know that being healthy is
more than being physically active. While
we provide six locations for working out,
we also offer something more important:
a way for people to connect with and care
for the people in the community.
2013 HIGHLIGHTS
PARKVIEW PHYSICIANS GROUP
OUTDOOR AQUATIC CENTER:
In May, the Jorgensen Family Y impacted
the community by opening an outdoor
aquatic center. This new amenity includes
six 25 yard lap lanes, beach entry, a
splash zone, toddler pool, zip line and
offers members an opportunity to
pursue wellness and have fun doing it.
SWIMMING AND WATER SAFETY:
To keep people at YMCA pools safe,
we launched an Initiative called “Test.
Mark. Protect.“ requiring all youth ages
13 and younger to perform a swim test
to determine whether or not they may
swim without a life-jacket or parental
supervision.
WELLNESS FOR LIFE COACHING PROGRAM:
We instituted this free program which
connected 630 people with a trained
wellness coach for seven weeks to
support the pursuit of healthy living.
COLLABORATIONS:
By collaborating with organizations
to identify and meet needs in our
community, we engaged in numerous
Healthy Community Initiatives such as
the Parkview LiVe program, YMCA’s
Healthy Kids Day, Corporate Wellness
Awards, The YMCA Corporate Challenge,
Focus on Health, YMCA’s Diabetes
Prevention Program and the YMCA
Weight Loss Community Initiative.
94,000
men, women, children and families
were impacted by the YMCA’s
programs and services in 2013.
1.5 MILLION
visits were made through our doors
which welcome, support and assist
our community.
102
men and women at risk of Type-2
diabetes reduced their chances of
developing the disease through
the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention
Program.
155
local companies committed to their
employees’ health and wellness
through participation in the Y’s
Corporate Membership Program.

Ida Mae, primary-caregiver
to 5 grandchildren
“
I FOUND
STRENGTH
& SUPPORT
AT
THE
When Ida Mae came to the Y, she felt as if she were out of options - “I
was about to give up,” she remembers. As a grandmother serving
as guardian and primary care giver for her five grandchildren, each
day was a struggle and argument-filled battle. She felt a distinct and
discouraging lack of respect and affection from her grandchildren, and it
caused her a lot of pain and distress.
So she turned to the YMCA’s Youth Service Bureau (YSB) for help and
found the strength and support she needed to keep her family together.
Y
”
In addition to participating in the YSB’s program at no charge, Ida Mae
and her grandchildren also received Y memberships, which provided
them with a place to go – a welcoming, affirming place where they all
felt part of something larger. Where they all felt part of a family. That
family atmosphere helped restore bonds between Ida Mae and her
grandchildren. With their Y memberships - made possible through YSB
- Ida Mae’s grandchildren now have something to look forward to every
day. “They didn’t have a place like this to go to before,” she says.
Ida Mae and her grandkids worked with YSB to develop a customized plan
that helped address their current problems and prevent future conflicts,
creating a stronger, more connected family unit in the process.
“I feel a lot of love from these kids now,” she says. “I think we’re gonna
make it. I think we’re gonna be just fine.”
The Y is here day-in and day-out to
provide the resources our community
needs to address the most pressing
social issues: child welfare, education
and community health. We work to
offer every child and family what they
need to achieve their best.
2013 HIGHLIGHTS
Y ON THE FLY PROGRAM:
Designed to provide safe, structured
physical activity for youth in under served
areas by taking the activity to them, this
program reached 10 local neighborhoods.
The 9 week program served over 1,000
children ages 2-16 in over 110 hours of
physical activity and also served 1,000
healthy snacks.
VOLUNTEERISM & GIVING:
In 2013, our Annual Campaign raised
over $363,000 that went directly to help
members and program participants who
need financial assistance to access the Y.
With 2,190 volunteers who help run
programs from A to Z — like Athletics
to Advocacy, Dance classes to Disease
prevention, Volleyball to Volunteerism—
we don’t just strengthen individuals, we
strengthen our entire community.
PIONEERING HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES:
The YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne was
selected to participate in the Statewide
Pioneering Healthier Communities (PHC).
This program addresses the childhood
obesity epidemic by convening state
and community leaders to implement
strategies that support healthy living.
YMCA GOOD FRIDAY BREAKFAST:
Former Ohio State Buckeye, NFL standout
and renowned ESPN sports analyst Chris
Spielman was the featured speaker at the
eighth annual YMCA Good Friday Breakfast
which hosted 367 guests. Chris shared his
experiences of joy and suffering through
faith as his family faced his wife’s 11 year
battle against breast cancer.
2,190
of our friends, neighbors and
community leaders donated
their time, energy and talent as
volunteers for the Y’s cause.
$1.2 MILLION
was provided in financial assistance,
ensuring that our programs and
resources are accessible for all.
16,703
people were directly impacted by
the YMCA through program and
membership financial assistance.
352
community members were trained in
CPR, first aid, lifeguarding and other
life-saving courses.
