As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with gratitude for the support and community spirit that makes the Athens-McMinn Family YMCA such a special place. When we high five a child who just learned to swim or the senior adult who tried their first class, we are inspired by the potential and purpose in all of us. We are in awe of volunteers packing food, teens developing into leaders, seniors becoming family to one another and people like you answering the call for help and making all of this possible.
We are also reminded that there is still a great need in our community.
During this season of giving, we need your help. Your generosity now will help us continue to meet the changing needs of our members and the community as a whole.
Here's how your contribution to the BUILDING WHAT MATTERS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN can make a major impact:
- Enhance Accessibility: We aim to create a more inclusive and accessible YMCA by adding new ADA compliant family locker rooms and installing two new ADA lifts in key areas of the facility.
- Revitalize Facilities: We will provide families with safe and updated locker room spaces featuring individual changing stalls and showers, modern finishes, and improved layouts.
- Protect Our Investment: Essential infrastructure updates are needed, including renovations to plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC, originally installed in 1975. Protect the investment into the facility by updating necessary infrastructure.
The true power of the Y lies in the hearts of neighbors like you who believe in building a stronger community for all. Together, with friends like you, we can ensure kids, families, and seniors have the support, respect and dignity they need to thrive.
Please consider making your gift today. Together, we can create a better future for our community. If you have questions or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact me at bradi@athensmcminnymca.org or 423.745.4904.
