The kickoff and prayer luncheon is happening on February 10 at 11:30 a.m. at the Columbia County Exhibition Hall. WRDW, the event aims to bring together faith leaders, community partners, and supporters to raise over a million dollars. The goal is to raise $1.7 million for financial assistance and outreach programs in the area.
There will be ten pastors from across the area who will lead prayer over the different areas of the YMCA's mission.
“Every dollar raised helps ensure that we can meet families where they are, ensuring children sleep in safe beds, families have access to nutritious meals, kids learn life-saving water safety skills, and individuals of all abilities and backgrounds have the opportunity to thrive,” said Catie McCauley, President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Augusta.
Every year, the Family YMCA gives more than $2 million in financial assistance to the communities. They help children, families, seniors, and others across the CSRA.
WRDW reports that last year, the YMCA of Greater Augusta raised over $1.6 million through the campaign.
