YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties Celebrates Annual Campaign Kick-Off Breakfast

More than 300 business and community leaders turned out in full force for the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties’ Annual Campaign Kick Off Breakfast at the Y’s Gymnasium in Mt. Laurel.

This Y’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 event honored “Lifetime Impact Champions” Thomas and Deborah Whitesell for their longstanding commitment to the community.

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

“We’re energized by the fantastic kick-off event turnout and groundswell of support we’ve already received from local businesses and individuals,” says Kerrihard. “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 gap. Becoming involved with this campaign will help us accomplish this important mission.”
