2008 Partner with Youth Campaign

The 2008 Partner with Youth Campaign is almost upon us! 

I am very honored and excited to be this year’s campaign chair.  We have a very dedicated and enthusiastic team of campaigners and I am confident that we will be able to achieve our campaign goal of $140,000.00.  Numerous meetings/brainstorming sessions have already occurred to ensure that we will not only bring in the dollars but that it will be a fun campaign.  Of course sharing the YMCA story makes it even more worthwhile.  I challenge each and every one of you to make a difference in someone’s life by donating and encourage your friend’s and associates to do the same.  Together we CAN make a difference. Suparna Lundquist, 2008 Partner with Youth Campaign Chair

The 2008 Partner with Youth Campaign is well under way!  Our goal for 2008 is to raise $140,000 to support current and future YMCA programs in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley.  All of the proceeds from the campaign stay right here in our community.  These funds provide financial assistance to families in need, and provide low and no cost programs to the community.

Campaign funds will help provide financial assistance for a new program for 2008:  Middle School Enrichment programs at Dwyer Middle School in Huntington Beach.  The program will begin in January, and will offer students a safe environment after school until 6 pm each day.  Kids will have homework help, tutoring, sports activities, cooking and more! 

Funds will also help to support programs at the Oak View Community Center.  The YMCA operates a drop in sports center from 2 pm to 6pm, Monday through Friday, and from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays.  Participants have the opportunity to participate in various sports programming, including soccer, basketball, volleyball and Jiu Jitsu.  This program is offered free of charge to participants, thanks to campaign funds.

Over 100 YMCA members will be volunteering their time during the month of February, to share their YMCA stories and raise funds for the campaign.  If you would like additional information, please contact Taina Hyvren at THyvren@ymcaoc.net
