Foundation Grant for new Tumbling Mats
by Kristi Potts on 10/27/20
The Montgomery County Family YMCA recently received a $1500 grant award from the Montgomery County Community Foundation. The grant award along with money designated from the YMCA’s Annual Mystery Drop event will be used to replace all 12 of the main mats that are used for the tumbling classes held at the YMCA. The current mats used by the tumbling program are 12 to 16 years old. Our instructors have done a great job when working with the program participants to limit the possibility of injury but the cushion within the mats has noticeably been reduced. The YMCA also wishes to purchase 4 additional free-standing hand sanitizing stations to place within high traffic areas of the facility. Two of the stands would be placed in the multipurpose room where the tumbling program takes place to make sure our participants and instructors are practicing proper personal hygiene.
The YMCA would like to thank
the Montgomery County Community Foundation Advisory Board and Stacey Goodman of
the Community Foundations of Southwest Iowa for making these funds available.
