YMCA to Receive Grant for New Fitness Equipment

Montgomery County Family YMCA Press Release (Red Oak, Iowa)
Immediate News Release

Friday, March 21st, 2014

The Montgomery County Family YMCA of Red Oak, Iowa recently learned that the YMCA will be the recipient of an $18,000 grant from the Montgomery County Foundation Advisory Board.

This grant will be used to enhance the experience of members of the YMCA and guests with new fitness, wellness, personal, cross training & circuit training equipment. The YMCA plans to install new wellness center flooring as well as part of the new look to the YMCA’s Bulkeley Wellness & Fitness Center.

The YMCA’s current equipment and center has been taken care of at a very high level since the YMCA’s opening in October, 2000. The current equipment manufacturer is no longer operational which has made things extremely difficult to obtain necessary replacement parts for the current circuit equipment along with a changing technology to assist Jr. High students to older active adults to assist them with their personal wellness & fitness needs.

The YMCA this past October, 2014 was awarded a $32,500 1:1 matching grant with the Iowa West Foundation for the same project. The YMCA is in need of about $70,000 to complete this project and have the new equipment and flooring installed this August, 2014.

The Montgomery County Family YMCA will kickoff the public phase of this facility enhancement campaign in late April to early June, 2014 to all YMCA members, community and area residents to support this wonderful project that will benefit individuals from Jr. High School students to older active adults.

The YMCA has already raised $60,000 so far for this project which the Montgomery County Community Foundation Advisory Board did award the Montgomery County Family YMCA a $5,000 fall grant in November of 2014.

The goal of the Montgomery County Community Foundation Advisory Board is to improve the quality of life in the county by supporting needs that are not being met in the areas of civic, cultural, health education, and social service.

The YMCA wants to thank all the members of the Montgomery County Community Foundation Advisory Board and staff for their time and willingness to help administer this program to truly make impressive impacts with so many outstanding and wonderful programs in funding too many worthwhile organizations within our county.
