Ever have a time in your life where you were a little unsure of how you were
going to pay all of the bills this week? There was that dreadful sick feeling in
the pit of your stomach. HOW were you going to make it work and get
through til the next paycheck???
Here at the Y, we help people so this “dread” isn’t quite so great. All they
need to do is ASK. If they fall into a qualifying category, we can help them
with their monthly membership and/or their swimming lesson or childcare
fees! This way, it stays seamless and normal for them. The parent(s) can
reduce their stress level by participating in an exercise class, whirlpool, etc.
to help keep that chronic illness at bay.
Sunday...10:00 am ~ 3:00 pm

WEEK
Here’s where the Y came in. The Y was able to provide financial
assistance to them so life stays “normal.” Mom is a little more at
ease and can focus on other bills while Johnny and Susie are in
their normal setting, safe and happy.
We will be honoring YOU, our Super
Members February 2 - 7! During this
week, if you have lost your membership card, you can get a replacement
for FREE!

The David Y ANNUAL CAMPAIGN is what provides this service.
Last year, we HELPED 870 individuals in our Jackson Township community
with assistance. Really!!!
A financially-assisted member be exercising beside you on the next
treadmill or swimming in the next lap lane.
Every year, our ANNUAL CAMPAIGN makes great stories happen.
Will you help make more great stories happen? Any dollar amount helps and
can be billed, added to your bank draft or charged. A $1000 donation puts
your name or business on the wall in our newly-renovated/enlarged
wellness center.
