FAMILY CENTER EXPANSION CAMPAIGN REPORT
LATE SPRING 2019
THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING Dear Friends, We’re happy to report that the Madison Area YMCA is in the midst of a lively spring programming session, with successful competitive seasons for our Mariners swim, Gators and Lady Gators basketball and Rosettes gymnastics teams. The warm weather has arrived and the end of the school year is near at our F.M. Kirby Children’s Center. We are gearing up for a busy summer. Our Summer Camp staff members are preparing for an outstanding season of character-building adventure, learning and activities for youth of all ages. We are preparing to break ground on our multi-million-dollar Family Center expansion. This month we completed a series of site and soil assessments in preparation for the first phase of construction. In preparation for building to begin this summer, we have contracted with NK Architects and Wm. Blanchard Co., both headquartered in Morristown. Both of these industry-leading professional organizations are well acquainted with our community and our Y, having worked on earlier expansion projects at our Family Center. Our NK and Blanchard partners are working with management and Board leadership to assure that our project moves forward as planned and on schedule. We project that once we begin, construction will continue for 18 to 24 months, targeting completion in the first half of 2021.

membership and programs. The combined Campaign will help us to expand our Family Center, and our program capacity, to meet the growing needs of children, teens and adults of all ages for decades to come. To date we have raised $6.4M in capital gifts toward our expansion project, and an additional $237,850 in 2019 Annual Campaign support. We are deeply grateful to our donors who have thus far made commitments to our Campaign. And yet we have a distance to go in meeting our goal, so we need your help. We will be working to connect with as many Y members as we can, and we would ask you to reach out to us to learn how you can help. Please contact our Senior Director, Organization Advancement at Aherman@madisonymca.org to learn how you can help. Together we can make our aspiration for the future of our community a reality!

FUNDRAISING UPDATE (As of April 23, 2019)
Our Y has been energized by the thoughtful, diligent planning and fundraising leadership of our Board of Directors, Project Steering Committee, Capital Campaign Leadership Cabinet and YMCA Management. Together, we are working to realize this major community-service aspiration by engaging the philanthropic support of individual YMCA and community members, along with foundations, corporations and other organizations. By year-end 2018 we had raised $5.6M through philanthropic giving. In January this year we launched “Our Community Our Future,” the community phase of our Campaign. “Our Community Our Future” is a combined initiative of our Capital Campaign for construction and ongoing Annual Campaign, which provides financial assistance to people at all income levels for participation in Y
