2009 STRONG COMMUNITIES ANNUAL SUPPORT CAMPAIGN
We know these are uncertain times for many people and appreciate the giving we have seen in the past few months – thank you! This year, the YMCA of Honolulu marks 140 years of serving the community. Throughout the years, we have witnessed our community in good times and tough times, but one thing remains constant and certain, and that is our charitable mission of supporting those in need through child/youth development, family strengthening and health and well-being programs. We need your continued support to keep our commitment to the families of Hawai‘i. Support the Strong Communities Campaign.
IT’S SWEET TO BE HEALTHY
It’s even sweeter to get healthy with the support of friends. So invite them to join the YMCA to improve the quality of their health and well-being. When you sign up a member you both will get a great YMCA t-shirt and you’ll be automatically entered to win a sweet, healthy and beautiful custom-made fruit basket from our friends at Foodland. This promotion runs from March 9 to April 13. Winners will be announced on April 15. Details can be found at www.ymcahonolulu.org. Live the sweet and healthy life!
