Registration Coming Soon
The Mankato Family YMCA's Golf Tournament is a key fundraiser for our youth programs, with sponsorships as the main source of funds. Sponsorship packages provide ample publicity for your business or organization as well as support for YMCA youth activities year-round, from teaching a child to swim to helping a teen learn to lead and feel success. Every child deserves a chance to realize their full potential. It's a fantastic day to dust off your clubs and get in a round with friends and associates. Fees include green fees, golf cart, lunch, dinner and prizes.

NEW SERVICE

Health and Nutrition Coaching
Learn how to adopt a healthier lifestyle with the help of certified health and nutrition coach, Amber Carson. Amber offers guidance, accountability and inspiration to help clients shift their behavior toward healthier habits by making step-by-step changes to their diet and lifestyle. The client will learn about new, healthy foods and the concept of primary foods. In this holistic program, Amber will also work with you on other areas of a healthy lifestyle including relationships, physical activity, career and spirituality. Instead of prescribing one diet or one way of exercising, Amber focuses on teaching clients to become self-sufficient by observing their own unique responses to various modifications and choosing health-promoting behaviors that work for them.
Each potential client will receive one 45-50 minute complimentary consultation which will include completing a Health History.

The program will include the following:
* Two 50-minute appointments each month for six months, which will include discussion of the client's progress, recommendations and notes..We will meet in person at the YMCA.
* A variety of handouts, recipes, books, CDs, foods and/or other materials.
* Email support in between sessions.
* Recommendations that are enjoyable, easily integrated, and step-by- step to work toward the client's goals.

Invest in your health: $195/month. The program is a 6-month commitment.
