SUMMER Y SPIRIT 2022 

 

 

9th ANNUAL SIP & SUPPORT

Since 1992, the YMCA Youth Service Bureau has provided support for troubled youth and their families. While the primary goal is to provide crisis and intervention services, we do so much more. Through advocacy, we give at–risk adolescents the tools, skills and support they need to succeed and grow into thriving adults and community members.

Help create a bright future for area youth by supporting the 9th Annual Sip and Support fundraiser sponsored by Mike’s Carwash. Ways to get involved include a sponsorship, donating money or an auction item, or purchasing a ticket to the event. For more information contact the YMCA Youth Service Bureau at 260.449.7511 or visit fwymca.org/sipandsupport.

TRAIL BUDDIES

"Isaac loves Trailbuddies! He loves the interaction with the Trailbuddies volunteers as well as people he meets while on his ride. He also really loves meeting dogs that are out for a walk. He will never be able to ride a bike on his own but this gives him an opportunity to be outside doing something that most people take for granted. It is the highlight of his summer! Doing the Fort 4 Fitness Spring Cycle gives him a sense of accomplishment when they cross that finish line. He looks forward to it and waving to people along the way!"
