annual impact report 2024
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we look back on 2024, I am filled with gratitude for the many ways the Fond du Lac Family YMCA has strengthened our community. This year has been one of tremendous advancement, innovation, and collaboration, and I’m excited to share the impact of our work with you.
We saw significant progress in key areas this year, including:
--Growth in gymnastics and the Girls on the Run program.
--Expansion of child care operations to meet growing community demands.
--Launch of a new water safety program in partnership with the Fond du Lac School District.
--Continued momentum of the joint capital campaign alongside the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac, aiming to create a safer and more enriching environment for members of both organizations.
--Strengthened partnerships with SSM Health, the Fond du Lac School District, Network Health, and many others, enabling us to address critical community needs more effectively.
Accessibility remains central to our mission, and this year we were honored to provide record levels of financial assistance through our Membership for All program, ensuring the Y is open to everyone. Through these efforts, we reaffirm our commitment to being a trusted partner, ready to serve the community whenever called upon.
Looking ahead, we are filled with optimism for the future. The development we’ve experienced over the past several years has laid a strong foundation for continued innovation and impact. As we expand our programs, deepen our partnerships, and explore new ways to meet evolving community needs, we are inspired by the endless possibilities to create positive change. Together, we will keep strengthening, improving health, and fostering deeper connections within our community for future generations.
The pages of this Annual Impact Report tell the story of what we’ve accomplished together. Thank you for your ongoing support, which makes our impact possible. Better together, we are building a brighter future for all.
With gratitude,
JJ Raflik
