STRONGER, HEALTHIER, SAFER THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DALLAS 2018 ANNUAL REPORT www.ymcadallas.org 1 Dear YMCA Family and Friends, 2018 was an outstanding year meeting the needs of the communities we are fortunate to serve. We did this through terrific programs serving all ages in our community, including two new programs, the Summer Learning Academy and Kamp K’aana. Focused on education, the Academy keeps at risk children on grade level and slows the challenge of summer learning loss. K’aana gives children who struggle with weight the opportunity to learn about a healthier lifestyle while spending an active two weeks at Camp Grady Spruce. Needs were also met at Y branches as members improved their health and wellness while spending time with new and old friends. All our work is underscored by our mission, “To put Christian values into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.” The Dallas YMCA is in our 134th year of service to our community. The beauty of the Y is adapting to the changing needs of fast-growing communities. We look quite a bit different than we did in 1885 but we’re consistent in standing ready to serve those that need the Y. We are proud to share with you a snapshot into the life of your Y over the past year. You are an important part of what makes the Y great and we appreciate your commitment, participation and support. This is Our Story. Warmly, Crayton Webb Curt Hazelbaker Chief Volunteer Officer President and Chief Executive Officer 2 BENEFITING OUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY INVESTMENT $4.3 Million COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE $5.5 Million DIRECT COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE TOTAL Membership, Program, & Income-Based Scholarships $2.7 Million COMMUNITY BENEFIT INDIRECT COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE Agency Scholarships, Subsidies, etc. $1.8 Million OUTREACH 174% ROI Community Health, Healthy Living, Youth Development, etc. $1.0 Million RETURN ON INVESTMENT of $4.3 Million Raised in VOLUNTEER SUPPORT $6.3 Million 2018 ANNUAL CAMPAIGN VALUE OF VOLUNTEER HOURS $11.8 MILLION 3 THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DALLAS FOCUSES ON: Youth Healthy Social Development Living Responsibility Learn More Learn More Learn More 4 YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Nurturing the potential of every child and teen We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve.
