0

The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka is pleased to announce that its annual Move to Give fundraiser is back for the 11th event this spring.

Through a wide variety of physical activities taken on by participants throughout Simcoe, Muskoka, and Parry Sound, Move to Give sets out to raise the necessary funds to support vital community programs and services offered by the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka. Funds raised through Move to Give enable the YMCA to open doors and strengthen the overall health of our communities through programs such as camp, youth leadership, employment and learning services, immigrant services, health and fitness, youth outreach, and more.

The YMCA is hoping to beat last year’s record-breaking total, with the community’s help, explained Jill Tettmann, CEO of the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka. “Last year, our incredible community raised over $130,000 to support critical YMCA programs. This year, we’re challenging our supporters to help us make an even greater impact as we move to give back to our communities, together.”
