Sussex Family YMCA kicks off Campaign for Kids fundraiser
Oriole hall-of-famer Robinson to
speak at Century
The Sussex Family YMCA
kicked off its 1997 Campaign for
Kids on Wednesday, Sept. 17, the
annual fundraising effort which
culminates in the Century Club
dinner, slated for Tuesday, Nov.
18. This year's guest dinner
speaker will be Baltimore Orioles
Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson.
Robinson retired in 1977, but
over the course of his 23-year ca-
reer, he earned the following dis-
tinctions: the American League's
Most Valuable Player, All Star
Game Most Valuable Player,
World Series Most Valuable Play-
er and Outstanding National Ath-
lete of the Year. He also won 16
consecutive Gold Glove Awards,
the Roberto Clemente Award, and
he was the first player elected into
the Orioles Hall of Fame before
being elected to the Major League
Baseball Hall of Fame on the first
ballot in 1983.
The YMCA Campaign for Kids
recognizes the immense potential
of young people and gives the
community an opportunity to play
a part in their promising future.
The Y has been the largest
provider of child care in the state
for the past decade, offering a
safe, nurturing environment to all
types of families. Statewide, the
summer camps host more than
5,000 children each year and more
children learn to swim in YMCA
pools than any other place in
Club dinner
Delaware.
With a focus on character devel-
opment, conflict resolution, deci-
sion-making and alcohol/drug
abuse prevention, the Y' youth
programs provide models of posi-
tive life skills and help prepare
children for the future.
Many families of children who
could benefit most from the YMCA
programs are unable to afford
membership, so the Campaign for
Kids can make a difference. Every
dollar raised during the campaign
will go toward providing opportu-
nities for kids and families to join
YMCA activities.
A gift of $1,000 would provide
a whole year of after school care
for a child, while $500 would
sponsor a full membership for an
entire family on a Y scholarship.
A gift of $125 provides the oppor-
tunity for kids to participate in
many youth sports leagues
throughout the year, with a $75
gift giving a week of summer
camp to a child.
The levels of contributing mem-
bership include benefactor,
$1,000 or more; sponsor, $500 to
$599; patron, $250 to $499; Cen-
tury Club, $125 to $249; investor,
$75 to $124, and friend, up to $74.
All those who contribute in the
Century Club range will be invit-
ed to attend the 6 p.m. private re-
ception with Brooks Robinson on
Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Crab-
Among those who benefit from donations to the campaign is

ry Club Dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 18.
