LETTER FROM CEO & BOARD CHAIRMAN Dear Friends: As we look back at 2010 for the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA, the Annual Meeting theme seems to have been the perfect choice: “Make a Splash!� A splash is fun and inviting, but it also has an impact. The Y makes a splash by focusing on the three pillars of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

In 2010, the Y made strides—or more appropriately, strokes— with each of the pillars, and we are proud to present the details in this year’s annual report.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT For generations, the Y has provided a safe environment where children can grow and learn. As we are besieged with stories of bullying and its effects in our communities, the nurture, support and activities children find at the Y have never been more needed.

Here they develop the selfconfidence and values that help prevent bullying. In 2010, we restructured our youth development operations, and more than 6,500 children took part in our childcare, swim, sports, and camp programs.

The Y also directly addresses drowning, the number-one cause of accidental death in children four years and younger in Florida. For every drowning death that occurs, 10 more people are treated for near-drowning accidents. We taught swim lessons to 2,424 children in 2010, making us the largest provider of swim instruction in Volusia and Flagler Counties.

HEALTHY LIVING Our nation faces an obesity challenge of epic proportions.

According to The New England Journal of Medicine, for the first time in more than 200 years, those in America’s youngest generation may live shorter lives than their parents because of an unprecedented rise in childhood obesity. That remains to be seen, but what is certain is that this generation will face repressive levels of frailty and disability due to decades of obesity. Volusia and Flagler Counties are no exception: 30% of our children DUH RYHU ZHLJKW RU REHVH and 2 % of adults suffer from obesity.

We at the Y grasp the importance of health and wellness. In 2010, we enhanced our efforts to actively help members meet their wellness goals. You will read in this report about one member who changed her life at the Y, so she could be a healthy role model for her grandchildren. Her story is absolutely inspirational, and it is but one of many similar Y member stories.

In 2010, 38,667 men, women and children were members of the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA. We have a well-trained and caring staff, a commitment to serving everyone, and a history of strong collaborations. These qualities make the Y among the best-equipped organizations to tackle our counties’ wellness challenges.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY At the Y, we strengthen the foundations of community.

We bring people together, encouraging empathy and generosity: the very staples of human kindness. And how kind our community is! Thanks in part to donations made through the 2010 Strong Kids annual fund-raising campaign, we awarded more than $882,000 in financial assistance to help more than 7,000 low-income individuals be part of the Y. This represents our largest annual financial assistance amount to date!

Thank you for what you do to support the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA. In this report, we share some highlights of our success. Through providing strong services and programs, engaging more donors, and being fiscally responsible, we will continue to fulfill our mission. No matter the challenge, the Y will rise to the surface. We will not sink; we will swim, and we will empower as many people as possible to make a splash—for their children, for their health, and for their community.

Sincerely,

Greg Snell Chairman of the Board Chief Volunteer Officer

“EVERY CHILD HAS A PLACE HERE.” 6

GROW LEARN BELONG The values children learn at the Y are vital building blocks for life. We reached more than 6,500 children in our community in 2010. Each of these children found a place to grow, learn, and belong at the Y. We embrace kids from all backgrounds, including those who are at high risk of being bullied or marginalized.

CHARLIE’S STORY At the Y, children find a place to grow, learn, and belong.

They build confidence and develop relationships in a safe, nurturing environment. They acquire vital skills that help them for a lifetime, and they develop healthy habits through sports and other activities that lower their risk of health complications later in life. One child who has found a place at the Y is nine-year-old Charlie.

Born with spina bifida, Charlie uses a wheelchair and walker.

Three years ago, he wanted to be part of a sports team. Given his disability, finding a sport in which he could compete on a level playing field was a challenge.

8

Swim league was just the ticket!

By competing on a swim league team, Charlie has improved

his self-esteem and achieved a physical goal outside of rehabilitation.

Charlie has developed strength and endurance. He has also learned to be part of a team.

“We were thrilled that, through swim league, Charlie could meet friends with similar goals and really benefit from the exercise and increased stamina swimming provides,” explains Charlie’s mother. “The smile on his face when he hears everyone cheer for him as he finishes an event—that says it all!”

HEALTHY, BALANCED PEOPLE.”

CHANGE THAT LASTS By focusing on listening, building community, and getting to know every member, the Y reaches people from all walks of life.

LORRAINE’S STORY The Y’s approach to wellness is unique, because it caters to all, including those who shy away from the traditional “gym” and have a difficult time sticking to their healthrelated commitments. A perfect example is Lorraine Smith, who, after a long-time struggle with obesity, decided the Y was the only place she could find the community support she needed to reach her goals.

In February of 2004, Lorraine welcomed her first grandchild into the world. The elation she felt at becoming “Mimi,” however, was soon replaced with fear: at 350 pounds, she was morbidly obese.

12

“Will I ever be able to really play with my granddaughter? Will I live long enough to experience her successes, to be at her high school graduation?” Lorraine wondered. It wasn’t long before the fear motivated her to action: she became determined to change her lifestyle so she could be the best grandmother possible.

Lorraine committed herself to eating healthy and becoming active. Within a few months, she and her husband joined the DeLand Family YMCA. She found the support she needed to maintain her new lifestyle.

She took small steps toward forming healthy habits and soon found herself at the Y

five days a week. She made new friends who helped form a support group — along with her husband — that cheered on her progress. She also challenged herself to try new things. She took Zumba classes, going from what she describes as a “terrible [dancer]” to a “bad one.”

“But I had fun,” she explains, “and the people in the class are just amazing!”

In the past five years, Lorraine has shed an astounding 200 pounds and has become the physician’s dream of personal wellness.

“I don’t take any blood pressure medication at all anymore,” she explains. In addition, her husband, who was by her side throughout the journey, lost 100 pounds!

“Not only am I confident that I can be there for my granddaughter for many, many years, I’m actually healthy and a good role model for her — and for my two newest grandchildren,” she says. “Five years ago, I never imagined I could reach so large a goal — but by focusing on small changes and being part of the Y community of wellness, I achieved something that has forever changed my life.”

“IT EQUIPS PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR COMMUNITIES.” 14

15

IT’S A MOVEMENT At the Y, strengthening communities is our cause. One by one, youth, families, adults and seniors find the support they need at the Y. They become part of something larger than an organization: a movement.

Y YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT Social responsibility is about supporting the community long-term. One way to do that is through programs, like YMCA Youth in Government, that equip people to be active, engaged citizens, capable of creating change.

The Volusia Flagler Family YMCA recently sponsored a trip to Tallahassee for its first group of Youth in Government participants: 16 students from Spruce Creek High School in Port Orange. They attended the State Assembly, held at the Capitol complex, over three days in Tallahassee. The students also had an opportunity to meet Representatives Dorothy Hukill and Fred Costello, and they toured the Chamber at the Capitol.

An exercise in active citizenship, the program allowed students to act as legislators, members of the press corps, lobbyists, Supreme Court Justices, and elected officials.

16

On a broader level, the Florida YMCA Youth in Government

Program has brought the best and brightest together since 1957 to experience lawmaking first-hand, through a unique “youth-run, youth-led” process.

Youth in Government has been known as a “life-changing” program that offers meaningful experiences for students.

The program is an exercise in the mechanics of the state legislative, executive, and judicial processes. Ultimately, the knowledge gained helps motivate many students to enter politics or government service, and for all to be interested, involved, and effective members of the community.

to take part in a movement by helping us understand the processes involved,” says one participant. “Social responsibility is about really being part of something bigger. It’s about having the confidence and knowledge to stand up for what is right and speak for those who have no voice. Youth in Government provides the tools and inspiration to do that.”

The Volusia Flagler Family YMCA is a proud participant in Youth in Government and will continue to be involved in this important program in future years.

“The Y is a place of development for so many areas of life. Social responsibility is no exception.

Through Youth in Government, the Y equips young people to create change in their community. It teaches us how

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT

COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN DONORS

Dear Friends: You are reading this because you care about the Y. We hope you also know that the Y is a cause-driven organization, a charity, committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We try harder every day to spread the word about our cause, about how we strengthen communities and provide access for all.

Families, children, and seniors throughout Volusia and Flagler Counties benefit from the Y. In fact, more than 7,000 individuals benefitted last year from the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA’s financial assistance program. This assistance totaled $882,124!

The Y’s commitment to serving everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, is met in part by donor support. In 2010, donors gave $280,000 through the annual Community Campaign, and every dollar went toward financial assistance for memberships and programs. However, the gap between what the Y gives in financial assistance and what it raises through the annual campaign must grow smaller every year until it disappears.

Our donors support the Y in many ways: through planned and estate gifts (these donors are part of the Heritage Club), through the annual campaign, and through telling their Y stories every chance they get. We also engage more than 800 volunteers in programs and leadership. We are a community movement, and our donors make it possible for us to reach so many. Thank you, Y donors!

Remember, financial assistance is not something that the Y does for people — it is something the community does to ensure that everyone can access the programs and services they need.

Sincerely,

Bill Scovell Board Member / Y Supporter for 35 Years

Dear Friends: The last two years have been financially challenging for the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA. This is true, of course, for non-profits across the country, as community needs increase and program and service revenues decrease simultaneously. With our solid strategic plan, however, we are confident that upcoming years will show financial improvement and strength.

To better streamline our services, we closed two facilities in 2009, which resulted in improved figures for 2010. Though we still experienced a net loss, it is less than half of what was lost in 2009. One highlight of 2010 is that public contributions remained almost constant, evidence that although the people in our community face financial hardship, they still believe in the cause of the Y. In addition, fulfilling our mission of providing access for all was a priority in 2010: the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA implemented an income-based membership plan at all seven of its family centers. This led to an increased number of members who received financial aid. Though this resulted in lower revenue per member, it also increased the Y’s goodwill within the community—a major intangible (and unquantifiable) asset for a non-profit organization.

In 2011, we expect that memberships will begin to increase at levels similar to those of years prior to 2009. As part of our strategic plan, we will increase membership revenue by four percent and program revenue by six over the next four years. In addition, we have plans to increase public support (excluding grants) so that it represents 10 percent of our revenue by 2014.

We are on a path to financial excellence. With that commitment in mind, we know that the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA has a bright future!

Sincerely, and GRANTS
