Greetings!

"Being a single parent can be scary. I

knew I needed someone to watch my little girl after school, but I didn't know how I could pay for it or who would care for her the way I did. I found this safe haven at the Y located at her school. Financial assistance was available through the Step Up For Kids Scholarship Fund. Because of your gift, I was able to do a great job at work, while she was being supervised by caring Y staff members. The Y has changed our lives as a family."

This week the YMCA of Central New Mexico launches its annual Step Up For Kids Scholarship Campaign and we need your help for mothers like Loreen and their kids. Every year, thousands of children and families in need are able to participate in YMCA programs funded through this campaign. The Y is the leading nonprofit for strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

 

Step Up For Kids is more than a fundraising campaign-it's the stepping stone that allows the YMCA to carry out its mission in our community. When you participate in the Step Up Campaign, you are not only investing in programs, but also in the future of our children as they mature through life.

 

Your steps will make a difference. Please join us with your contribution to the Step Up For Kids Scholarship Fund and help us to help the children and families in our community.

 

Sincerely,
