Two Chamber Champions Team Up in Fundraising Effort!
| |
George Forbes of the Lucille Lortel Theatre, is running this year's NYC
Marathon to raise money for the McBurney YMCA's Strong Kids Campaign.
Each year the YMCA of Greater NY provides over $46 million in financial
assistance to tens of thousands of children and families. Their policy
is to never turn away a family in need. There are thousands of families
in the Chamber's area who struggle every day to keep their kids safe and
healthy. These families rely on the McBurney Y's Infant Care, Nursery School,
Universal Pre-K and after-school care to watch their kids while they are
at work.
Demand for scholarships is at an all-time high as more people struggle
to make ends meet. In fact, in September more scholarship money had
been granted for 2010 than for all of 2009 and the scholarship fund is
running out of money.
Donations can be made to support George in his race to supports the McBurney YMCA Strong Kids Campaign by clicking here.
You can help make a difference!
