PossibleMissionAnnual Report 2007

The YMCA of Tacoma-Pierce County made great strides in accomplishing

priorities of the Good to Great Strategic Plan – 2008 is the year we launch

into an even more aggressive 2020 Vision for the next 12 years.PossibleMission Dear Friends,

The YMCA of Tacoma-Pierce County made great strides in accomplishing its Good to Great priorities of

2005 – 2008, making its mission possible.

In 2007, the entire Association embraced the national Activate America initiative to reach start-and-stop

exercisers. The principles of Activate America have impacted everything from program opportunities to

vending options, from facility amenities to member communications. For example, “Healthy Connections”

at our 41 Child Care sites was developed to actively engage children in healthy snack making activities and

active play, while soliciting parent involvement in making healthy choices.

Collaborations and partnerships made a huge impact in 2007. This is particularly evident at the new Gig

Harbor Family YMCA where the aquatics center was made possible through a partnership with PenMet Parks

and the City of Gig Harbor. Also, MultiCare Health System specialists offer occupational therapy, physical

therapy and nutrition counseling in a 2,600-square-foot space in the facility, while the Y offers services at

Point Fosdick Medical Center.

The new Gig Harbor Family YMCA, facility improvements like the new Chapel at Camp Seymour and the

Tacoma Center YMCA remodel, $2.3 million in financial assistance, and many of our programs would not be

possible without generous financial support. We are blessed to have over 400 volunteers who raise money to

make this possible. The Gig Harbor Capital Campaign alone raised $13.6 million – cumulatively more money

than has been raised in our YMCAs history.

While we are amazed at our Good to Great progress, we realize there is more work to be done in every area of

our Association and our community. That’s why we are thinking bigger and broader with a “2020 Vision” that

strives to provide everyone in the greater Tacoma area access to a balanced life in spirit, mind and body.

It is with excitement that we celebrate our accomplishments and with eagerness that we look to the

possibilities of the future.

Mission Accomplished!

“I love to dance!” admits ten-year-old Blayne Fujita. Throughout the hour and a half Pierce County Families Get Fit class Blayne is as upbeat as the music he loves. You would never guess from his boundless energy that he is concerned about obesity and weight loss.

“Blayne has become a real leader, often encouraging other participants to work harder and have fun. His parents are also learning about small nutritional changes they can make at home,” says program coordinator MoMo Pulliam. “If they as a family can sustain small lasting change, it can have a significant impact on Blayne’s future health.”

Support Programs like Families get FitThe YMCA of Tacoma-Pierce County

developed a four-year Good to Great plan, spanning 2005 through 2008, to guide the organization’s energy and resources. The Good to Great plan built on the YMCAs proven heritage of over 125 years of being a force for good in the community and focused efforts in six areas.

Care for people like Brian BocottBrian Bocott was in a car accident nine years ago and is now a paraplegic. Brian’s parents have spent those years seeking the best doctors to care for Brian, including a recent trip to Lima, Peru. With the opening of the Gig Harbor Family YMCA they found help in their own backyard.

Brian and his father use the exercise equipment every couple days to help with Brian’s upper body strength. Later this spring they hope to use the warm water, zero entry pool for therapy. Brian’s parents are confident that the continued therapy and the YMCA community support will allow Brian to walk again.

Learning about dieting the right way was really a benefit. Just being aware of my intake of proteins, fruit and vegetables, and making them an enjoyable part of eating – rather than dieting for a treat.

My goal is to make the one-year mark maintaining my weight. I’m almost there!

Meet people like Ray and deanna dallyRay and Deanna Dally’s financial generosity continues to grow with our Association. They have given to the YMCA in every way possible – Annual, Capital, Endowment and Special Events – at some of the highest giving levels known to our Association. They were catalysts for the Mel Korum Family YMCA, as both Capital Campaign Major Gifts co-chairs and supporters of the previous campaigns for facilities on Pioneer Avenue and Valley Avenue.

For Ray, the YMCA is more than a place to volunteer in his community: it’s a place he remembers fondly from childhood. Ray grew up in the South Hill/Puyallup area and attended a YMCA day camp and overnight camp in Lake Tapps. In high school, Ray remembers boarding a bus in South Hill and riding to the downtown Tacoma YMCA to swim.

Three years ago, 16-year-old Darren DeLeon was awarded one of the first Late Nite college scholarships to attend Running Start, a program that allows youth to attend community college while in high school.

Darren’s parents had emigrated from the Philippines, did not have the opportunity to graduate high school and only knew work as the way to achieve a better life. They did not understand his desire to go to college.

Darren, now 20, is a University of Washington Tacoma graduate with a Business Administration degree, a personal banker with Wells Fargo and a mentor for the Running Start program. He credits the Y for giving him hope and confidence.

2007 was another successful year at the YMCA of Tacoma-Pierce County with membership, financial aid and fundraising numbers reaching record levels. We proved again this year that we are good stewards of your investments. The real success, however, is not in these outstanding numbers but in the personal stories, like those in this report, of YMCA members and participants.
