2010 Strong Kids Campaign

"Together We Can"

At the Ottumwa YMCA one of our most important goals is to enrich the lives of kids and families in our community...

We strive to make sure that every child’s day brings about bigger and brighter achievements. Your support ensures that many children who otherwise would not be able to afford YMCA programs and services are engaged and involved!

In 2009, with the help of the Strong Kids Campaign:

· 223 families received financial assistance for quality, caring child care services.

· 752 youth and teens learned swimming and lifesaving skills in our aquatic programs.

· Over 800  youth were taught the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play in our year round youth sports programs.

· More than 432 youth, adult, and families received financial assistance for memberships to promote happier, healthier lifestyles!

· Last year, with the help of the United Way and the Strong Kids Campaign, the YMCA provided $115,000 in financial assistance and scholarships to local youth, adults and families!
