Tracy Ely - Team Impact. For a better us.

Please support me as I fundraise for the 2018 Hunterdon County YMCA Annual Campaign!  I volunteer for this campaign because I believe in the Y's mission: that everyone should have the resources needed to learn, grow and thrive - regardless of age, income or background.  Your gift to the Y will directly impact the life of a child or family in need by allowing the Y to provide a fee to subsidize its programs and services.

Y programs include child care, after school care, summer camps for children, cancer survivor programs, free memberships for all 7th graders in the county, senior programs, Special Olympics swimming programs, and food distribution programs.  And this isn't even a complete list!

Contributions are invested in people. 100% of the money raised goes directly to programs and services for children, teens, adults and families.  Last year, over $464,000 was raised.  Will you help us beat that goal this year?  Here's how your donations could be used:

• $25 - 1 day of after care, keeping kids engaged and supervised after school
• $55 - 1 day at Y summer camp for a child
• $100 - 1 month family membership for cancer survivors and caregivers 
• $250 - 1 year on the Y's Special Olympics Swim Team
• $275 - 1 week at Y summer camp for a child

The typical recipient of Y assistance is a single parent of 2 making $31,000 per year.  That's a sobering figure in NJ.  Together, we can give these children the opportunity to attend the Y's child care, after care, wellness, and camp programs.  

I've committed to raising $1,500 but my stretch goal is $2,500.  This is your chance to impact a child in our community in a meaningful way.  Every donation makes an impact - how much will you give?

To my colleagues (and others with a company match) - please give at least $25 and don't forget to secure the 2:1 match to TRIPLE your IMPACT!
