By Staff Report-

In America today, kids are growing up fast and missing the years that determine their talents, passions and future life plans.

Now there is a way to promote childhood in the neighborhood in which you live: the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

"Strong Kids promotes the one thing missing in our children's lives - an active and healthy childhood," said Dan Leininger of Beers Mallers Backs & Salin, LLP Attorneys at Law, this year's Strong Kids Campaign co-chair. "For many kids, it's a chance of a lifetime just to go to camp in the summer or play on a soccer team that puts teamwork and friendship ahead of winning."[[In-content Ad]]The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign seeks donations from individuals, corporations and foundations to be able to continue to provide access to YMCA programming for children, teens and families who would otherwise be unable to pay. This opportunity to support childhood in your neighborhood will allow Kosciusko County kids the time and place to escape their adult responsibilities and just "be a kid".

Kosciusko Community YMCA members and community volunteers hope to raise more than this year's goal of $80,000 to provide membership assistance and scholarships to programs like summer camp, child care and youth activities for more than 500 people in the Warsaw area.
