The Christian County YMCA is in the closing stages of its Capital Campaign fundraiser.  It’s an effort which YMCA chapters across the country are taking part in.  The goal has been to improve and add to facilities and programming, and the Christian County location has done just that.

The progress in this fundraising effort has enabled the Y to work towards its goals.  Bruce Blanshan, CCYMCA Executive Director, says it will recognize the top donors within the building. 

If you want to help, there are still opportunities to do so.  The CCYMCA has mobilized other local restaurants to take part in donation days.  Angelo’s will hold a donation day on July 24.  This means the business will donate a portion of its gross sales towards the fundraising campaign.

Meanwhile, summer programming at the Christian County YMCA continues.  Next week, they will begin a basketball camp, which will feature experienced coaches in the area.

The Y has several other events scheduled throughout the summer, as well.  They include a back-to-school fair, an end-of-summer backyard bash, and their involvement in community days at the fairgrounds.
