Will Your Y Get $250,000 for Free Fitness and Wellness Programs?
The Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA has applied for a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project, and the only way we can get it is if you vote for us. Our project, "Activate the Peninsula," will ensure fitness, nutrition, and cooking education programs for everyone in our community, as well as fitness education for all children in our child card and child/youth watch programs. Check the Pepsi Refresh website or vote now by clicking here.
We need your vote EVERYDAY in August to make this a reality for our YMCA. Please share this information with everyone you know - friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, and other Y members. You can share through Facebook and Twitter by hitting the button that appears after you vote. This project will benefit each Y and the people in each of our communities. We can only win the Pepsi Refresh grant if the community supports our efforts to "Activate the Peninsula."
Any questions? Talk to any staff member at the Y to help you through the process. |

Bright Beginnings
Every child deserves to start school with confidence. Bright Beginnings ensures that children in need are able to start the school year off right with new school supplies and clothes. Volunteers and children shop together in an outing that leaves everyone feeling fulfilled. This program has grown from serving 10 children in Isle of Wight in 2004 to 63 children last year.

Coming Soon! Youth Super Sports -  Building Winners for Life
At the YMCA, youth sports is as much about building character as it is about learning sports skills.
Youth Super Sports is the YMCA's new progressive youth sports program that combines the marvelous philosophy of past YMCA youth sports programs with new program concepts. Children learn character values as well as sports skills and tactics by incorporating fun and creative games during every practice. Our "games approach" sessions during each practice are designed to better prepare players for competitions.
YMCA Youth Super Sports at the Luter Family YMCA include Indoor Futsal Soccer and Basketball.
