YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties Invites Community to Attend Annual Campaign Kick-Off Breakfast

The countdown is on for the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties’Annual Campaign Kick Off Breakfast taking place Tuesday, March 3 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Mt. Laurel YMCA Gymnasium on 59 Centerton Road in Mount Laurel.

This year’s record campaign goal of $2 million will help the Y transform lives and communities by providing program support and financial assistance to local youth and families who need the Y most. The Kick Off Breakast will honor “Lifetime Impact Champions” Thomas and Deborah Whitesell.

“We invite members of the business community and community at large to join us at the kick-off event to celebrate the positive impact the Y makes in the community and to learn more about how to get involved with the campaign,” said Tim Kerrihard, president and CEO of the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties. “As the demand for the Y’s services increases year after year, it’s critical that we continue to raise funds to help close the financial gap for families who value the Y’s programs or services but may not be able to afford them.”

Key sponsors for the event are: Breakfast Sponsor Sensational Host; Event Sponsors TD Bank and PCS; and Media Sponsor Thomas/Boyd Communications.

The event is free of charge. The Y requests that RSVPs be made by February 27. RSVPs can be completed online at ymca-bc.org. For more information or to contribute to the YMCA’s Annual Campaign, please contact Jaimie Geddes at 856.231.9622 x202 or jaimieg@ymca-bc.org.
