Project 212 Seeks to Help More Families

The goal of Project 212 is simple, but impactful: support an additional 212 families in 2012. Y members and community guests will have the opportunity to support Project 212 during My Y week from April 16-27. Throughout the Y we’ll be raising awareness and funds to provide financial assistance to more families who need our help.

Each year, we raise critical funds to help us provide access to children and adults who otherwise might not be able to participate. We believe that everyone – regardless of their financial situation – deserves the chance to be stronger in spirit, mind and body. That is why we are calling on our community to help us raise $100,000 to help provide access to hundreds of children and families.

“We believe that all children, individuals and families should have the opportunity to participate in life-changing programs at the YMCA,” said Jerry Courtney, Lima Y CEO. “We are so grateful for the support we receive each year from our members. They know the value of the Y and want to support their neighbors in need. This year, I’m hopeful we can give 212 additional families the chance to become part of our Y family.”

Your gift, no matter the size, keeps the YMCA affordable, enables the YMCA to provide membership and/or program assistance to those in need and supports improvements to the facility – keeping our Y clean, safe and up-to-date.
