YMCA Strong Kids Annual Support Campaign Each year, our Strong Kids Campaign raises financial assistance funds to assure that no one is turned away from a YMCA program because they can't afford to pay. The 2009 campaign goal is $110,000. We count on our members and generous donors to help kids and families who may otherwise not be able to participate in programs like day camp and preschool. With donations, the Freeman Southwest Family YMCA is able to provide kids with life-enriching activities and programs that may not exist for them otherwise. Our lives will always be measured by the lives we touch. Your contribution of time or financial support is greatly appreciated. Click here for a convenient contribution form.
