DELRAY BEACH — On October 4, the YMCA of South Palm Beach County welcomed
more than 100 guests to the Delray Beach Club in celebration of the kick-off of their
Annual Community Support Campaign.

This fun and informal event provided an opportunity for those who support the
fundraising efforts of the local Y to mingle with staff and other supporters while stirring
up some excitement for the upcoming year.

Highlights included longtime member Russell Lisk sharing his personal and emotional
connection to the Y and pledging $5,000; a recital by Flame, the Y’s dance troop of girls
ages 8-12; a video montage illustrating the Y’s community impact as well as a rousing
performance by FAU’s cheerleader squad.

The Y counts on the support of the community to continue to provide much-needed
quality programming for all ages and income levels. Last year’s campaign helped raise
more than $200,000 and the goal for this year will be to surpass that number.
