The YMCA is partnering with the Hamilton Marathon Road2Hope to raise funds for the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign at the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford. Together we can make it possible for a child with special needs to join in YMCA Day Camp with their peers, send an inner city kid to YMCA Wanakita to canoe for the first time. You’ll help a young person in YMCA Leader Corp Program to gain self-esteem and teach a new-comer youth life-saving swimming skills in our pools. Your support will give a local child in need the chance to experience the joys of childhood and the courage and confidence to be a leader in their own life. Visit ymcahbb.ca to learn more.
