WHERE WELLBEING MEETS OPPORTUNITY MADISONAREAYMCA.ORG

November 2021 Dear Friends, At the Madison Area YMCA, our staff, donors and members adapted and grew with the changes of this year, innovating and incorporating new ways of operating while keeping health and wellbeing as our top priority. This year we are asking for your support by making an annual contribution to assure that we can continue to keep our community safe, healthy and strong in 2022 and beyond.

THE Y: WHERE WELLBEING MEETS OPPORTUNITY LEARN. GROW. THRIVE. “I feel it is so important to give all children the same enriching experiences, regardless of available resources; because these types of experiences truly shape a child and make lasting positive impacts.

These influences will be something a child will carry with them for the rest of their lives and shape who they become as an adult.”

- KidsQuest Camp Parent

HEALTHY STARTS HERE. “I am so happy I was able to do the LIVESTRONG Program. Chris is great with us. A few of us are continuing with the program on Tuesday and I am glad I did. I look forward to it every week.”

-LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA participant (cancer survivors wellness program)

Thousands of people in our community rely on our Y’s safe, high-quality child care; after-school and summer programming; and adult wellness services. All gifts make an impact and ensure that the Y remains available to all in the year to come.

With thanks for your consideration and continued support,

Diane Mann President & CEO Madison Area YMCA
