Rotary Club of Welland presents cheque to YMCA of Niagara
On July 26th, Community Service Co-Chairs, Peter Inman and Vic Kerschl, presented a cheque to Jonna Wolfenberg, Manager of Philanthropy for the YMCA of Niagara. The cheque, in the amount of $2,500, is to send ten children from Welland’s underserved backgrounds to the YMCA Welland Camp this summer.Jonna Wolfenberg stated that camp offers more than just fun and games; it provides invaluable experiences that contribute to a child’s personal growth and development. Through outdoor activities, team-building exercises, and immersive learning opportunities, campers gain confidence, build resilience, and develop essential life skills. They forge friendships, discover new interests, and create cherished memories that last a lifetime. For children facing financial barriers or experiencing the outdoors for the first time, these experiences are transformative. Amidst a backdrop of nature amplified by the camaraderie of friends, inner smiles emerge, breaking through barriers and opening doors to new possibilities.
By supporting the YMCA of Niagara’s camp for children in Welland, you not only enable a child to enjoy an experience filled with adventure and discovery but also invest in the future of our community. Your contribution will have a ripple effect, fostering positive change and inspiring young minds to reach their full potential”.
