Help Your Community Thrive With The Ymca

WEST COVINA, Calif. - Feb. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- West Covina, CA– On February, 2^nd, 2015, the San Gabriel Valley YMCA is kicking off its annual campaign, which ensures that everyone in San Gabriel Valley has access to local programs and resources supporting youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The San Gabriel Valley YMCA strives to give support to neighborhoods in need

of childcare and recreational programs for youth; Adventure Guide programs which facilitate family bonding, and local events to help the community grow stronger together. Last year, charitable gifts from donors made it possible for the San Gabriel Valley YMCA to serve thousands of people.

“Giving back to the community is something we love to do at the YMCA. Every year we give away thousands of dollars in scholarships for kids who can’t afford before and after school care and who would never be able to go to camp without a scholarship. These kids are always extremely thankful to have these opportunities to make memories.” John Carmichael, Program Director at the San Gabriel Valley YMCA, explains.

This year, the San Gabriel Valley YMCA hopes to raise $30,000. All funds raised will directly support scholarships and financial aid for our neighbors in need.
