Jennifer Payne's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for Lorelei's YMCA (well Nana and I like it too)!
Two years after the birth of my wonder daughter, I unexpectedly tossed into the realm of single mother working full time. Without the support of my family and the Everett YMCA's affordable youth programs, I would not be able to provide my daughter with the opportunities to learn how to swim, play soccer, basketball, and just have a good time at what she lovingly calls the "Mommy Gym" vs the Little Gym she were I paid upwards of $800 a year for a only 45 minutes a week for dance and gymnastics.
It is the least I can do to help them raise funds so my daughter, as well as other daughters and sons, can continue to have these opportunities too.
Your support helps pay for the following programs:
* ACT: Youth Obesity Prevention
* Livestrong: Cancer Survivor Fitness
* Y-Community: Access and transportation to swimming and other community activities for dislocated families in local family shelters.
* 3rd grade swim lessons (including transportation)
* Minority Achievers Program (mentoring, tutoring and college application support for first generation, minority, and low income teens).
* Youth Sports scholarships
* Subsidized before and after school care and Preschool.
