YWCA Dayton Gift of Hope Campaign

Nov. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- The YWCA Dayton is offering a unique gift for your holiday shopping list this year, the Gift of Hope. It’s ideal for your family or office exchange, book or card club get-together, for teachers, caregivers and service providers or if your business is interested in showing appreciation to its customers with something besides another box of candy or a calendar.  

The Gift of Hope allows you to honor your friends, families or colleagues by making a donation to the YWCA Dayton in their names. It is truly a gift that keeps on giving. Your gift will play a vital role in helping the YWCA Dayton continue its mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.  The YWCA Dayton has a 138-year legacy of addressing critical social needs in our Dayton community, including: domestic violence, racial justice, homelessness, childcare, affordable housing, plus self-sufficiency and personal development for women and teens. Your investment will provide hope for a better tomorrow to the women and children who turn to the YWCA during their most desperate times looking for shelter, comfort, guidance and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.    

The YWCA will provide you with special donation envelopes, if requested, and will send honorees a notice of your gift if received before December 20, 2008. Checks and credit cards are accepted. For more information about the Gift of Hope Campaign, contact the YWCA Dayton Development Office at 937.461.5550, extension 118 or visit the YWCA Dayton website at www.ywcadayton.org.
