“The Y. So Much More.” Annual Campaign Figures ARE IN!

by Kristi Potts on 01/19/16

The 2015 “The Y. So Much More.“ campaign raised $61,499 to surpass the campaign goal of $55,000.  These funds supported community & area needs through YMCA services. 

Red Oak, Iowa, January, 2016 – The Montgomery County Family YMCA’s Annual Campaign, “The Y. So Much More.” is designed so that everyone in Montgomery County and throughout the area has access to vital community/area programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Every day, the Montgomery County Family YMCA works to support the people and neighborhoods that need it most by addressing community matters, such as fitness and healthy lifestyle for all ages, chronic health issues, school partnerships, and to serve as a center for social networking.

“Throughout Montgomery County, countless people know the “the Y”. But there’s so much more to our Y than one might think”, said Rudee DeMarce, YMCA Board of Director and chair of the 2015 Annual Campaign program. “The Y is more than a gym. It’s a cause. As a charity, we’re dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the nation’s health and well-being, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”  

The 2016 Montgomery County Family YMCA campaign goal is to raise $55,000 and the area residents, members of the YMCA, friends of the YMCA, were able to raise $61,499, the most ever funding raised for annual support in the 20 year history of the Montgomery County Family YMCA.  DeMarce thanked everyone for their amazing support with all the donors, volunteers and YMCA staff making the 2015 campaign the most successful campaign in the 20 year history 

of the Montgomery County Family YMCA.

Funds raised supported a wide range of activities from athletics, fitness, healthy living, youth development, social responsibilities to summer day camp programming. The Y doesn’t just strengthen bodies – it strengthens people, families and communities. 

Year after year, charitable gifts from YMCA donors make it possible for kids to have a safe place to learn and build confidence after school; for families to reconnect and grow together; for members of the community of all ages, access to fitness education and training to reach their full potential.  DeMarce mentioned that donor received the wonderful satisfaction of knowing that they helped someone enjoy YMCA services that truly needs assistance to be involved with youth programming and to keep programs affordable for everyone to be able to participate in. The Montgomery County Family YMCA has had in place for 20 years the policy that “no one will be denied membership or programming opportunity due to financial limitations.  

The first quarter of the new year when preparing one’s taxes is a great time to support area non-profits like the YMCA and many other local worthwhile organizations. The donor receives their year-end tax contribution opportunities in working with a 501 (c ) not for profit organizations.

About the YMCA

The Y is one of the nation’s leading nonprofits strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Across the U.S., 2,700 Ys engage 21 million men, women and children – regardless of age, income or background – to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the nation’s health and well-being, and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors. Anchored in more than 10,000 communities, the Y has the long-standing relationships and physical presence not just to promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change.  

The Montgomery County Family YMCA's mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all!  We provide health and wellness, youth sports, senior programs, teen programs, aquatics, and group exercise instruction. In our 66,000 sq. /ft. state of the art facility we serve over 917 households with membership totaling over 2,338.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE

FRED DAVIS

The Davis family has had a membership at the Montgomery County Family YMCA since it first opened. During her school years, Fred and Kathy’s daughter, Martha, constantly used the basketball court and tennis facility and Kathy is currently a water aerobics instructor at the Y. Upon his retirement from Parker, one of Fred’s goals was to improve his physical fitness. As he said in a recent note, “I use the fitness center and walk/ run the track most weekday mornings. Not only is exercising a good way to begin the day I also enjoy visiting with other members that are there each morning. I feel Red Oak is very fortunate to have this facility. Nick and his staff do a great job!”

The Davis family has been wonderful donors to the annual campaign and volunteers to the YMCA helping to make it possible for other families to enjoy the Y in years to come. The annual campaign makes financial assistance available for children and families who otherwise could not afford to participate in YMCA membership and programs.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

Reaching Goals by Reframing New Year’s Resolutions

Each year, millions of Americans turn the calendar to the New Year and make resolutions. But without breaking these goals down into smaller milestones, it can be easy to lose momentum.

This year, the Montgomery County Family YMCA is encouraging community members to give their New Year’s resolutions a boost by creating smaller, more manageable goals that can lead to the success of a larger one.

“Losing weight is too broad a goal,” explained Nick Zimmer, Montgomery County Family YMCA Executive Director. “Reframe your big resolution into something achievable. For example, instead of making a resolution to ‘lose weight,’ resolve to incorporate fruits and vegetables into at least two meals a day.”

Below are seven tips the Montgomery County Family YMCA recommends to help 2016 New Year’s resolutions stick.

1. Start small. Break those big resolutions into small, achievable goals. Instead of cutting chocolate out of your diet for good, vow to only have it a few times a week.

2. Take it one step at a time. Trying to change too many habits at once can easily lead to frustration. Instead of a New Year’s resolution, make a new month’s resolution.

3. Choose an organization that focuses on a holistic approach to health. When it comes to adding healthy behaviors, like increasing physical activity, it’s important to find a place that keeps you motivated. Your facility should not be just a gym, but a community organization that offers more health, more hope and more opportunity. The Montgomery County Family YMCA strives for creating these opportunities for our members.

4. Talk it out. It’s easier to stick to your resolutions if you have a partner or friend working toward similar goals. Team up with someone to set your 2016 goals and help each other establish a game plan dedicated to achieving them.

5. Volunteer Your Time. Giving back and supporting neighbors can benefit everyone involved. Not only is it a personally rewarding experience to help others in need, but it’s also a way to meet new people or discover an interest.

6. Move More. It’s important for children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day (30 minutes for adults). Incorporate physical activity into your daily routines.

7. Put Extras to Good Use. Do you have extra canned goods or clothes that could benefit others in need? Clean out your pantry, closet or attic and donate extra items to homeless shelters or community outreach programs.

For additional tips or to learn how to get involved with the Montgomery County Family YMCA, contact 712-623-2161 or visit www.mcymca.com.
