Make A Difference in Someone's Life
 
Our local economy is suffering just as the country is because of the recession.  The Victory YMCA needs your help to meet the needs of those in our community asking us for assistance.
 
Please consider participating in our
$5 for 5 months campaign to benefit our Strong Communities Campaign.  We are encouraging our members to ask family, friends and neighbors to also contribute to our cause of helping those in need.  Our goal is 1000 people to give so talk to any staff member today to see how you can help!  Please note:  Donations are not limited to $25.  Please see contact information below to learn more.

If you would like to learn more about $5 for 5 months campaign, please contact Donna Blake at Donna.Blake@peninsulaymca.org or at (757) 867-3300 x212.
