YMCA of Greater Dayton Announces Fundraising for $7 Million Project Almost Complete - $250,000 to go on goal
July 6, 2004- After much anticipation the Huber Heights YMCA is now under construction! The YMCA of Greater Dayton has collaborated with Grandview Hospital, Sulphur Grove United Methodist Church and the City of Huber Heights to make this 56,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility a reality.
The Huber Heights YMCA will be a full-service facility with an indoor walking/running track, a full-sized gymnasium, a 6-lane 25 yard indoor swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness & wellness center, a teen center and much more!
However, in order to complete the $7 million dollar project, the YMCA still needs to raise $250,000. Local businesses and residents are currently being asked to help meet this need by participating in the Huber Heights YMCA Buy-a-Brick program or to make additional pledges to the YMCA.
As you can imagine, a new YMCA facility will have a dramatic impact on the quality of life in our community, said Mark Campbell, Huber Heights YMCA Campaign Co-Chair and Owner of Wayside Collision Center. The Huber Heights YMCA is sure to attract new families to the community, which ultimately means more opportunities for local businesses. Its a situation we can all benefit from.
All gifts or pledges must be received no later than June 30, 2004.
The YMCA of Greater Dayton is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities, said Tim Helm, President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Dayton. The Huber Heights YMCA is no exception. We are very excited to be a part of this community.
The Huber Heights YMCA is expected to open in early 2005 and will be located on the corner of Shull Road and Brandt Pike. For more information about giving to the Huber Heights YMCA, please call (937) 223-5201.
