Jamie Ruoss's Story

Please join me in the fundraising effort for the Y's Invest in Youth Campaign. 

Kids are a passion of mine. That is why I am joining forces with the Y to Invest in Youth. This campaign raises money that goes to funding programs for children here at the Y. The monies raised pay for swim lessons, after school programs, healthy living programs that fight childhood obesity, financial aid for preschool and so much more. 

The Y was a part of my childhood. I have great memories of going to camp during the summer, playing youth sports at the Y, and getting to go swimming. Years later the Y gave me a job as a summer camp counselor. Now it's my turn to help the Y be a part of other childrens' positive memories.

When you join me in making a donation to this campaign you will be directly impacting the life of a child. You will be giving them an opportunity that they would have not otherwise had. 

Every dollar counts. So, please make an investment in a child's future today.

Thank you!!

Jamie
