MIAMI COUNTY, IN- Are you ALL IN for Peru? For Miami County? At times it seems that we don’t have any control over what happens in our community. Over the years, decisions made in company headquarters or real estate developer offices far from Miami County have resulted in jobs coming and going, houses falling down or being repaired, stores closing and opening. But there is one decision that will be made locally and only locally. It’s something you can support that has been steadfast in serving the community since 1902. And it’s an agency led by local volunteers and staff devoted to supporting everyone in Miami County. The YMCA. Time and time again, the Y has stepped up. Time and time again it has proven to be worthy of trust and determined to help. And time and time again it has provided hope, nurturing, and a place to belong for children, families, adults, and seniors from all walks of life. Now it’s time for US to step up for the Y. The Y needs to raise $850,000 in new pledges by April 15 to complete the challenge match from the Dukes Health Care Foundation. When we do this, we will finish a $13.1 million capital campaign that will bring a brand new Y to our community. It’s a project that has brought together support from all corners of our community—government, schools, foundations, businesses, and individual donors. The impact on how we live, how we feel about ourselves, and how others—maybe even some of those same out-of-town decision makers—see our community will be huge. And most importantly, it’s something we can choose to do ourselves. Through 117 consecutive years of service, the Y has always been locally led by volunteers and staff who are ALL IN for our community, and now we are asking you to do the same. We’ve made our pledges—we’re ALL IN for the Y. Are you?
