STRONG COMMUNITIES
 

Strong CommunitiesEvery day, we work side by side with neighbors in our community to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Many of you choose to make the Mathews Family YMCA your charity of choice.  And, thanks to your generous support, the Mathews Family YMCA provided over $38,000 in financial assistance to local youth, adults and families in 2010.

 

The Y has been listening and responding to our communities' most critical needs for 160 years.  Strengthening community is our cause.  Whether developing skills or emotional well-being, welcoming and connecting diverse populations or advocating for healthier communities, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve.

 

We invite you, once again, to make a tax-deductible contribution to the Mathews Family YMCA so that we can continue offering opportunities for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility to everyone, regardless of financial ability. Donations can be made online@peninsulaymca.org or mailed to the Y. Thanks so much for your kind consideration.

  

BBQ BASH-SAVE THE DATE

 

Join us on Saturday, May 7, 6-10pm at Kingston Plantation for some of the best BBQ from Patsy Jeanne's and knee-slapping good bluegrass music by Mixed Grill!  Silent and Live Auctions include theater, golf packages, theme parks, beach condos and much, much more.  Tickets are $50 and go on sale April 1.  All proceeds from ticket sales and auctions benefit our Strong Communities campaign.

 

FAMILY WELLNESS TIME
 

bluegreenmanboyweightsNEW EXTENDED HOURS FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGES 10 AND UP TO WORK OUT TOGETHER! 

 

Family Wellness Center time is a chance for member families with youth 10 years old and up to work out together in the fitness room. All you have to do is make

an appointment for the first visit to get

an orientation on the personalized fitness equipment. A parent or guardian must supervise the youth at all times at the fitness center. Members age 16 and over may use the Fitness Center without a supervising adult present.

 

Family Wellness Time hours are Monday and Wednesday, 6:30 - 8 pm; Tuesday and Thursday, 4-7:30 pm; Friday, 4-6 pm; and Saturday, 8 am-1 pm.
