YMCA ENDOWMENT FUND

What is the YMCA Endowment Fund?

One of the characteristics of our day is the tendency of men and women to make

provisions for perpetuation of their influence beyond their lifetime. More and more

persons of both large and small means are setting aside a portion of their resources

to continue benevolent interest in the people of their community. Anyone

contemplating such provisions for the future naturally want assurance that money

provided for this purpose will:

Accomplish some permanent good.

Help build the community of the future as one would like to do—if still living.

Be managed wisely with an emphasis on benevolent stewardship.

Go on to an organization which is stable, well managed, in touch with public

sentiment and capable of meeting the changing conditions of the future.

The boys and girls and young men and women who need the service of the YMCA

most, cannot afford to pay all that it costs to render this service. To increase the

fees sufficiently to make the work self-supporting would shut out from its benefits

those who need them most.

To ensure universal accessibility of programs and services offered by the YMCA

there are needs to be a firm financial foundation supporting your YMCA. An adequate

Endowment Fund is needed.

Endowment Funds stabilize the work at the same time provide for expansion and

new directions. Constantly changing social conditions require new methods and new

programs; a growing population requires expansion of proven programs. It is

impossible to increase current earnings support from the United Way, fees paid by

participants and contributions rapidly enough to meet these demands. Endowment

Funds will make it possible to answer some of these calls where the need is urgent.

Many friends of the youth and of the YMCA have made gifts or provisions in their

wills whereby their lifetime ideals and interests have been perpetuated and their

annual contributions capitalized. This opportunity is open to all, whether the gifts or

bequests be large or small. You, too, can make a lifetime gift or bequest to

strengthen and extend the services of the Young Men’s Christian Association.

For any further information, please contact Executive Directors, Bonnie Wassmer or

Ron Marshall, at 286-5636 or 742-7321 respectively.

YMCA Fun Facts &

History The YMCA was founded in London, England, on

June 6, 1844 by George Williams.

The first YMCA was started as a Bible Study and

prayer group to substitute for the unhealthy social

conditions during the Industrial Revolution.

Volleyball, Racquetball,

Softball, Professional

Football and Basketball were

all created at the YMCA!

The "Peace Corps" was

founded in 1961 by

President Kennedy after the

YMCA's program of World

Service Workers, which

started in the 1880's.

The 3 corners of

the YMCA triangle

represent, spirit,

mind & body.

In December 1891, at the International YMCA Training School in

Springfield, Mass., the school’s director,

Dr. Luther Gulick, gave physical education teacher James Naismith

two weeks to come up with an indoor winter game to

challenge a class of future Y directors. Naismith hung

peach baskets to the bottom of a second-level running track

and taught the men his new game: basketball. Today, basketball is

second only to soccer as the most popular sport in the world.
