Monies raised help to provide Y memberships to those who can’t afford them.
The Vincennes YMCA’s Annual Community Support Campaign is underway.
Y CEO Rob LaRoy says this year’s fundraising goal is 125-thousand dollars. He says Y members and volunteers are canvassing the community right now selling people on the benefits of a Y membership and the services they provide.
Campaign Chairperson Emily Heineke says 80-percent of the funds raised go to provide memberships for children and their families who otherwise may not be able to afford a Y membership. Money raised also goes back into services including the Y’s summer camp program and hot meals for seniors.
To make a a contribution reach out to a YMCA member or contact the Y at 812-895-YMCA.
