YMCA Strong Kids program - what's it all about anyway?

First, Thank You for the generous donations in support of the YMCA Strong Kids program as I continue this journey towards raising $1,000.  Currently my total raised is just over 53%, with only 7 days to go!  Every $10 donation brings me 1% closer to my goal. If you haven't already contributed, please consider what you can give and use the link below, or I can arrange to pick up cash or cheque (made out to The YMCA of Greater Halifax/Dartmouth) from you within the HRM.

Here are some interesting facts on how your donation is used:

A gift of $35 will help a 3 to 5-year old develop strong bones and muscles through a preschool program session while learning to share with others.

A gift of $100 will help youth 6-12 years of age learn skills at camp such as canoeing, swimming, camp craft, environmental studies, and at the same time developing social skills to work in a team environment.

A gift of $240 will assist two siblings in getting physically "active" 7 days a week through an annual health and wellness membership.

A gift of $500 will provide a child or young adult with an “experience that lasts a lifetime”—a week at Canada’s oldest residental camp, Big Cove YMCA Camp.

A gift of $1,000 will ensure that boys and girls can be safe and well cared for in a structured environment while their parents are working away from home.
