Melanie Ross's Story

The YMCA preschool and after care programs have been such a benefit to my family. Through this fundraising program, families who otherwise couldn't afford to send their children here, are able to with financial aid. My absolute favorite part of this fundraising program though is it benefits young people in transitional housing. These young people can be sponsored for memberships, which provides them with a place to shower and get ready for school, and a place to come to after school to have access to computers, the internet and help with their homework.

Please join me in the fundraising effort for this organization. THANKS!!
