Mark Spain Real Estate Sponsoring YMCA Spin A Thon - Pledges to Raise $30K for Kids to Go to Camp

ATLANTA - Feb. 27, 2020 - PRLog -- Company founder, Atlanta native and Forsyth County resident Mark Spain has committed to raising over $30,000 for the upcoming Forsyth County Family YMCA Spin A Thon. The 2020 Spin A Thon is being held Saturday, March 21, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Forsyth County Family YMCA, 6050 Y Street in Cumming,Ga., a suburb of metro Atlanta.

"Proceeds from the event ensure more kids, regardless of financial ability, have the opportunity to attend summer camp to grow, learn and connect at the YMCA Camp on Lake Lanier," explains Mark Spain, who has also volunteered on the Forsyth YMCA's board for the last five years.

This year's Spin A Thon theme is superheroes. Participants and sponsors will use their "pedaling superpowers" to raise over $60,000 to send more than 200 kids to summer camp. Participants sign up for half-hour spin segments and community members may also support the cause by donating without participating in the day-of activities.

The Forsyth YMCA's goal is to raise enough money to send 200+ kids to summer camp. A $300 donation sends one child to camp for a week. To donate, visit SpinForTheKids.org.

Mark Spain and his wife, Whitney, will be in attendance, participating in the Spin A Thon and Spain has turned the event into a fundraising challenge for all eight Mark Spain Real Estate locations.The Mark Spain Foundation will match the first $10,000 Mark Spain's real estate team raises.

"My experience with the YMCA has been incredible, starting in childhood when I learned to swim there. Now as an adult, it's also been eye-opening," says Mark Spain, who was just honored in February by the YMCA of Metro Atlanta as Fundraiser of the Year. "I had no idea one in five members in my local community was on some form of scholarship or financial assistance. It was a call to action for me personally to make a difference and have a positive impact."

In addition to sponsoring the annual Spin A Thon, Mark Spain Real Estate hosts its Big Y Day annually, where Spain and his team clean and prep the Y's camp so it is ready to welcome children each summer.
