Bernie & Phyl’s Donation Site

Dear Naomi Shore- Bernie and Phil’s Furniture,

On behalf of the 14,000+ members of the YMCA Boroughs Family Branch we wish to express our sincere gratitude to you for your generous gift of a Gift Certificate for the First Annual Spring for Youth Event.

Thanks to your generosity the event helped raise over $10,000 for our Annual Partner with Youth Campaign.

The Boroughs Family Branch is thrilled to report that they have reached their $40.000 goal! The impact of the annual campaign is significant. In 2004 the YMCA awarded $75,000 in scholarships for youth and families.

These scholarships provide many opportunities for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in childcare, teen initiatives and attend summer camp. Equally exciting is the influence that many of these young people have on our community as they develop their leadership and socialization skills.

Again, many thanks for placing the YMCA Boroughs Family Branch among your charitable priorities. We look forward to working with you on the 2006 Spring for Youth event! You truly are our partner in our mission to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

Sincerely,

Ed Slake
