LIVES AT THE Y<br />
DEAR FRIENDS,<br />
Thank you for making <strong>2019</strong> another successful<br />
year in delivering the <strong>YMCA</strong> of Greater Br<strong>and</strong>ywine’s<br />
mission promise!<br />
As you read the stories of some of those whose lives<br />
have been changed for the better at the <strong>YMCA</strong> this<br />
year, we hope you are as inspired as we are. There<br />
is the student who found his calling after finding his<br />
voice, thanks to our Youth <strong>and</strong> Government program;<br />
the mother <strong>and</strong> daughter who found acceptance <strong>and</strong><br />
integration in our childcare program; <strong>and</strong> the senior<br />
who turned his life around, finding a healthier lifestyle<br />
through the Y.<br />
So far this year, your support has enabled us to provide<br />
financial support to more than 10,000 people so that<br />
they can access all the benefits of the <strong>YMCA</strong>, like the<br />
family who lost so much after a cancer diagnosis, or the<br />
girl who was being bullied, but found her courage <strong>and</strong><br />
confidence in our Power Scholars program.<br />
LL<br />
During this season of giving, please help us to finish<br />
the year strong by donating to the <strong>YMCA</strong>. Whether<br />
your donation comes in the form of lending your time<br />
<strong>and</strong> talent for any number of our causes or a monetary<br />
donation so that we<br />
can help even more<br />
who need us, we<br />
value your support<br />
<strong>and</strong> the significant<br />
impact it has on our<br />
community.<br />
Thank you!<br />
