Gilbert Southern

Company's support has significantly impacted Y programs during the year,

and the volunteer board, parents and children are grateful to donors who

care about the Y and the community.

The Fayette

Family YMCA appreciates the emotional and monetary support given to help

families and children with program fees. One hundred percent of contributed

support stays local to meet the community's growing need. In 2002, this

community was a partner in helping 46 families participate in summer day

camp, swim lessons and Y Indian Guides.

Contributions

to Partner with Youth allows the YMCA to develop spirit, mind and body

in summer day camp; reinforce character values through outreach programs

like community service and outdoor adventure; teach children and adults

water safety skills in swim lessons; and provide financial assistance

to those who cannot afford the full cost of programs to keep them accessible

to everyone in the community.

In light of

today's crisis on the homefront, the YMCA's commitment to building strong

kids, strong families and strong communities is even more relevant.

Now more than

ever, the Fayette Family YMCA invites everyone to share in a vision that

values and involves young people as a precious resource in the community.

The need to provide safe places and nurturing programs for young people

becomes greater each year. For more information on the 2002 Partner with

Youth campaign, call 770-719-9622.
