ANNUALREPORT

Reaching our potential

FactsFiguresAR_2014_20150511.indd 1 2015-05-11 2:52 PM

Introduction

It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t limit yourself. That’s what our 2014

awareness campaign was all about and what the year was all about for our team:

telling people the Y is here to help parents and caregivers raise kids to be the best

they can be. So this year’s report emulates that campaign and the spirit of potential–

the ability within all of us to reach for more and live our healthiest and happiest life.

We never met a kid whose potential we couldn’t see.

All of us have a drive inside for more. Unrealized, untapped and not-yet-known. It’s our potential. Reaching our potential takes courage, people who care, opportunities, experiences to shape us and a safe space to grow and learn. Reaching our potential doesn’t happen by accident.

And that’s what 2014 was all about for our association: intentionally challenging ourselves to be better. We not only designed our programs and services to help children and families reach their potential, but we also strived to reach our potential as an organization—as a unified team seeking to make a tangible impact by helping people live healthier, happier lives.

We set new records in 2013 and we well surpassed those milestones yet again in 2014. We reached out and supported more than 114,000 men, women, children, teens and families at 185 locations with 47% of the people served under 18 years of age.

The challenges facing families aren’t getting smaller. They are getting bigger and more complex, so our goals for growth and reaching underserved communities are that much more critical.

Our board and leadership team are more confident than ever before in our ability to tackle these challenges and help people thrive. The team of sta�, volunteers, donors and partners work as an integrated team, communicating more e�ectively, building positive relationships with one another each day, and achieving more together than we ever could by ourselves. Our Y’s growth and success is proof that our new approach is working.

We are making an impact on our community—in small and big ways. We thank all of you for helping us to create a community where everyone feels healthy and connected.
