Julia wants to ensure that all kids have an opportunity to enjoy YMCA programming. That’s why the Hamilton girl participates in the annual YMCA Strong Kids Hula-Hoop-a-Thon at her YMCA after-school program.
“I’m motivated by realizing how lucky I am and how much I have,” says Julia, 12. “It feels really good to help other people.”
Every year some 2,500 children in the YMCA of Hamilton/ Burlington/ Brantford’s after-school programs help other kids by raising funds through a fun-filled afternoon of hula hooping.
Money they raise through pledges goes to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign – a major annual fundraiser that raises financial support for children, youth and families who are unable to afford the full cost of participating in YMCA programming.
The YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford offers a wide variety of programming to help all children and their families reach their full potential. Help us change lives by donating to the YMCA Strong Kids campaign.
