Many of you know, or have heard me talk about my daughter Grace.
I am so grateful that Grace is growing up as a "Y Kid". Through summer camp, she has made friends and enjoyed new experiences. Through swim lessons, she has learned new skills. She has enjoyed many family programs and volunteer opportunities.
I want every child to grow up a "Y Kid"--to be able to thrive the way my daughter has. Thanks to donors like you, every kid can have that experience.The Rye Y has made a powerful promise to the communities we serve: no-one will be turned away from a Y program or activity because he or she can't pay.
I'll leave you with this note, one of many we have received from recipients of Y Cares Financial Assistance.
Dear Donors,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your contribution to the Y Cares program; because of your generosity my son was able to go to camp for four weeks. He was the happiest boy on this planet; because of you he is able to participate in other programs throughout the school year. Without this program he would sit at home for the summer. He loves going to the Rye YMCA.
Thank you for visiting my page and for joining me in supporting the Rye Y's Annual Campaign so all kids have the same opportunities Grace does.
All the best,
Denise
