Children's Advocacy Center & Lee County YMCA Partner, Provide Services for Low Income Families

Aug. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- After touring CAC’s facility, Lee County YMCA CEO, Jim Sanger wanted to do something to help. The result was a summer partnership, aiding the Pine Manor after school program and an offer to provide all CAC clients with three months of membership or programs, compliments of the YMCA.

Children whose families might not otherwise be able to afford recreational activities can now participate in programs such as aquatics, dance, gymnastics, football and more, all while strengthening family ties and being healthy.  In addition, the children benefit from the YMCA’s environment which emphasizes caring, responsibility, honesty and respect.

“We are so appreciative of the YMCA,” commented Jill Turner, Chief Executive Officer of CAC. “They are definitely putting smiles on the faces of these children and their families.”
