Nick McWilliams reporting – Thanks to the efforts of staff members and the community, the Tuscarawas County YMCA far exceeded their fundraising goal in 2023.
Wrapping up at the end of last year, the YMCA Annual Campaign aims to provide financial assistance to area families in need to help cover membership and programming fees.
The 2023 goal was set at $92,000, which was exceeded by more than $45,000.
In a release, YMCA CEO Meagan Shaheen said that the staff was shocked by the final totals, and that the results of the goodwill will be a healthier and happier community.
Funds raised each year are put towards memberships and other parts of the non-profit such as swim lessons, preschool, camps, after school programs, and more.
