Summit YMCA helps build ‘strong kids’
More than 200 volunteers and staff of the Summit Area YMCA gathered on Feb. 17 to kick off their annual Strong Kids Campaign, which raises funds for the YMCA Cares Financial Assistance and community outreach programs.
The goal for this year’s campaign is $494,500, to be raised by 270 volunteer fundraisers in the next eight weeks. So far $147,700 has been raised to date, with 100 percent YMCA staff participation.
Heading up the campaign leadership this year are Peter Loeser, Summit Y; Ann Garity, Berkeley Heights Y; Susan Guber, Springfield Y; Dave Story and Lori Gay, The Learning Circle Y; and Cindy Martin, Y Board of Trustees.
Miggy Vasquez, a Berkeley Heights resident and Y long time member addressed the volunteers, speaking about the Y being more than just a gym, and how she has benefited from its programs and services over the years.
