2018 ROAD RACE METRO NORTH
SERIES
SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION KIT
YMCA OF METRO NORTH
JOIN OUR CAUSE Every day, the branches of the YMCA of Metro North provide everyone the opportunity to be healthy and thrive, to connect with others, and contribute to a better community. We believe that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. That belief is demonstrated through a commitment to provide financial assistance to ensure no one is turned away from our programs or services due to inability to pay. Funds raised from our Road Race Series ensure that the Y can continue to make an impact on the lives of those who need us most. In 2017, the YMCA of Metro North gave out almost $1 million in financial assistance to individuals and families in the communities of Peabody, Lynnfield, Lynn, Nahant, Saugus, Stoneham, Melrose, and Revere. By sponsoring the Road Race Series, you are joining the YMCA’s cause of strengthening communities. With your support, we will be able to help local families who depend on the Y to remove income as a barrier to opportunity for their children.
