MORE FUN THAN EVER The Frank DeLuca YMCA Family Center in partnership with FRANK DELUCA YMCA FAMILY CENTER Summer Program Guide 2015 MAY 1—AUGUST 31 DEAR MARION COUNTY: Anyone who knows me will tell you where I’m at if I’m not at home, with my family or at work—I’m at the Y. The YMCA was recommended to me after I moved to Ocala 12 years ago. At that time, I was married, and my youngest, who is special needs, was 3 years old. My life was very stressful. Not only was I a mommy to a child with Prader Willi Syndrome, but I had a husband who struggled with bipolar and manic depression. Being the caregiver to a child with special needs and an adult with mental illness had its own full-time commitment. I had a moderate commitment to fitness, however Cyle enjoyed his social time at the Y, so I struggled through workouts with the last fragments of energy I could muster up. standing ovation! You will find me crying on the sideline when that happens. Our life changed drastically over 2 years ago when my husband lost his battle with mental illness. We were left without provision or a plan, yet I still had to keep my son and I going. I am blessed to have an amazing support system that quickly became my right and left arms. But I was the only one who could use my feet! This is where the Frank DeLuca YMCA Family Center became part of my lifeline. Becoming stronger and healthier was a necessity. I talked to the pros to push my limits, and I took their advice. Today, I can proudly say I am 57 years old and in the best shape of my life. I am rebuilding our lives with new determination. My son has gone beyond what his doctors ever expected. I have to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people who are responsible for maintaining the vision of the YMCA. Because of your commitment, you have impacted my family’s life by helping me put the pieces back together. Because of you, this is more than the Y to me. - Denise and Cyle Sarko As the years progressed, Cyle’s disorder presented other health issues, some which are life-threatening, and finding him an activity that was safe was always a challenge. I had always been proactive with his therapy and dietary needs, so as he grew, I searched for a sport that he could play while fitting in with the rest of the kids. YMCA basketball was my answer! Little did I know that we would find the most caring and nurturing coaches, parents and staff to teach my star how to play. Not only has he learned the sport, his can-do spirit says he is the next Michael Jordan! Every time he scores—or even just catches the ball—both teams give him a JOIN OUR CAUSE At the Y, we know the importance of youth development and healthy living. That’s why we believe that everyone should have the ability to participate in YMCA programs and memberships that can change lives and strengthen our community.

After joining the YMCA that day, a wellness appointment was scheduled and Jesi was enrolled into the Y’s Coach Approach program, which is designed to teach new and returning exercisers how to start and stick with their fitness programs. Jesi graduated into personal training, and in less than a year, she has lost 70 pounds and 30.5 inches. Furthermore, Jesi completed her first 5K after having never been a runner before. “The YMCA has made health and fitness one of the most important things in my life. More importantly, breathing isn’t challenging anymore and my blood pressure is back to normal,” Jesi says. “Except during some of my workouts with my trainer!” LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA At the Y, we know that exercise—even in moderation—is key to combating chronic diseases. That’s why our LiveSTRONG program is designed to help adult cancer survivors rebuild their strength. Through a 12-week small group program, participants meet twice a week so that they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle that will help them live strong.

BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP CAMPAIGN At the Y, strengthening the community is our cause. That’s why we work day in and day out to nurture youth, strengthen families and promote healthy living. This is more important than ever, as our community is facing some serious issues, and we believe that we are the organization that can move our community forward with “Y solutions” to the most pressing community issues. FOR HEALTHY LIVING According to the 2014 County Health Rankings, 32 percent of Marion County adults have a BMI that is greater than 30, putting them at risk for life-altering chronic diseases. In addition, only 61 percent of adults in our community have access to exercise programs. 50 percent of all chronic diseases are preventable through exercise and nutrition. But good health is more than just eating right and working out—21 percent of Ocala adults have inadequate social support, making it harder to address simple lifestyle concerns. FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT In 2014, 33 percent of children under the age of 18 live below the poverty line. In addition, 40 percent of children live in a single-parent household, with only one adult as the child’s caregiver and role model. Only 70 percent of a 9th grade cohort will graduate after four years, according to 2014 statistics. According to the Home Security Shield, Ocala is now in the top 20 most dangerous cities in the state of Florida. FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Last year, your generous donations help provide programs that promoted healthy spirit, mind and body to over 4,000 individuals experiencing financial hardship in Marion County—1,955 families; 326 adults; 684 teens; and 859 seniors. Y SOLUTION At the Y, we know the importance of getting—and staying—active. That’s why our programs are designed to help people start their journey to a healthy lifestyle. We specialize in creating the perfect setting to welcome all individuals. That’s why we engage people in group settings so that everyone has the support they need to be successful. From YMCA Get Fit Programs and Group Exercise Classes to our preventative programs, like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program and the LiveSTRONG Program for cancer survivors, we work diligently every day to improve our community’s health. YMCA Scholarships allow for people of all ages, backgrounds and incomes to participate in these programs so that, as a community, we can build strong foundations, and continue growing stronger together. Y SOLUTION Developing our future leaders is something that we take seriously at the Y. That’s why our youth programs focus on education, core values and fitness. During our first week of Summer Camp in 2014, we had 200 campers, and 50 percent of them were on scholarship. Not only is the YMCA a safe haven for kids of all ages, but we make it a priority to surround our youth with positive role models while we help enhance their education. Without YMCA Scholarships, our youth would not be able to participate in programs, like Summer Camp, Youth Sports, Swim Team, and more. Our goal is to help ensure brighter futures for youth, as we work together to build strong foundations for the rest of their lives. STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY YMCA SCHOLARSHIP DONORS PARTNERING WITH OUR COMMUNITY FOR A BRIGTHER FUTURE We believe that everyone deserves the Y. That’s why we offer financial assistance to individuals and families who might not otherwise be able to afford Y memberships or programs. With the help of our donors, volunteers, members and staff, we are able to work together to raise funds so that we can ensure that no one is turned away due to an inability to pay. We are fortunate to have more than 300 donors who have generously supported our cause, and we are thankful for them all! Special thanks to everyone who has supported our campaign at any level—without your help, we would not be able to bring our cause to life. At this point in our 2015 Campaign, we would also like to recognize our business partners and donors who have supported Scholarship with a donation of $1,000 or more.

TODD YOCUM MORGAN STANLEY Manal and Riadh Fakhoury Last year, in our first week of Summer Camp, we had 200 campers. Of those, 99 were on a Scholarship for Summer Camp. Without the support of local businesses and donors, a fun-filled, active summer would not have been possible for nearly 50 percent of our Week 1 Campers. The Mitchell Family Ken Boggs Jim and Angela Charles THE Y. SO MUCH MORE. SCHOLARSHIP DOLLARS MAKING A DIFFERENCE Al and Judy Dunlap IN MEMORY OF OLIVER WRIGHT Jerry Cummings DANA REDRICK AND FAMILY EXPANDING OUR BUILDING, AND OUR REACH In 2014, 1,100 donors gave $367,000 with the help of more than 200 volunteers. 100 percent of those dollars went directly back into our community to impact the lives of more than 4,000 individuals, including: 357 campers 1,437 kids in our youth sports programs 314 kids through our swim lessons 286 middle school students in our Youth Achievers program at Howard Middle School MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE, AND SO MUCH MORE We had a remarkable impact on our community in 2014, but while we raised $367,000, we awarded more than $423,000 worth of scholarships. That’s why our 2015 Scholarship Campaign goal is to raise $500,000 — so that we can continue to open our doors to our neighbors in need. We know that at the Y, we help kids, adults, families and seniors thrive to their fullest potential. Making dreams come true is what we’re all about, but we can do so much more with you. Jared Walton PATRICE PERRON LA CUISINE RESTAURANT Jonathan Rossi WILLIAM SPECHT VOLUNTEER, DONATE, ADVOCATE Well-being for many of our neighbors is all too frequently limited by income or social isolation, but the Y offers opportunities for every child, teen or adult to achieve his or her potential regardless of economic status. With your help, the Y can continue to expand where it is needed most. Please consider volunteering your time, making a contribution, or sharing your story of the Y’s impact. If you would like to be involved in this year’s campaign, contact Nicole Orr or Tracie Mosley.
