News You Can Use

Volunteers Needed!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Partnership Park and the Jackson YMCA are teaming up again on Halloween for the annual Trunk-R-Treat event in the YMCA parking lot. We need people to sponsor trunks! Trunk sponsors dress up and distribute candy, small toys, or even family friendly literature from the trunk of their vehicle. Trunk sponsors supply as much candy as they can, and the YMCA will provide additional candy until everyone runs out!

The goal is to provide a safe alternative to door-to-door trick or treating for kids who live in the downtown area. Not able to attend? Donate candy! Last year we served over 700 kids, and ran out! Donations are accepted at the Jackson YMCA. The event takes place on Halloween night from 6:00-8:00. For more information, or to register your trunk please call the YMCA at (517) 784-YMCA.

Remember the YMCA in Your Will

The demand for Jackson YMCA programs and services is at an all time high. The current economic conditions have left many in need. Gifts don’t have to be large to be meaningful and can take a variety of forms. By including the Jackson YMCA in your long-range financial plans, you will be doing more than improving your community immediately; you will be impacting the community for years to come.

To learn more about including the Jackson YMCA in your estate plans please call (517) 784-9622 or visit our website www.jacksonymca.org.
