My son Jimmy requires a lot of care.  Right after he was first born, he had a stroke.  When it was time to choose a daycare that would support him, my wife and I thought of no other organization then the Y.  As part of the Y community, James has been nurtured and grown way beyond we ever imagined.  What other place can he play in the gym with his gait-trainer as he learns to walk?  What other daycare will let him swim and alieviate his muscle spasms in the water?  What other daycare would be able to manage his medical condition with certified providers?  No other center can promise so much.

We have come to depend on the Y to embrace our family and help us to feel part of a community.  Looking into the future, we need to keep the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County going strong, that is why my family has donated to the 2020 campaign.

Your donation to our campaign means keeping our mission to build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all of the Cedar Valley community.  Our Y promises keep our intentions focused you.

Thank you for building stronger kids, stronger families, and a stronger community.
