As we begin the new 2015-2016 school year, The Gateway Family
YMCA—Rahway Branch has a new opportunity to positively impact
every 7th grader in Avenel, Carteret, Colonia, Linden, Rahway and
Winfield Park. We believe that 7th grade is a pivotal time in a young
person’s life. It’s a time where they are given more freedom, more
responsibility and the ability to make more choices on their own.
The YMCA 7th Grade Initiative provides a free membership to every
7th grader as a way to better engage, educate, and connect to our
youth right when they need it most. Not only will this provide 7th
grade students with a safe environment, but it will enable students
to grow in spirit, mind and body.
Initiatives such as the 7th Grade Membership and our ability to
provide financial assistance to those in need are only possible
through the generous donations made to our Annual Support
Campaign. The Rahway Branch has an annual goal to raise $30,000
to help provide these socially responsible programs and services.
To date, we have raised over $23,000 toward this goal. Please
consider helping us reach our goal by making a gift to our Annual
Support Campaign and/or joining us on November 12th, for some
food, fun and fellowship at our “Express to Success” event at the
Rail House Bar located in Rahway. Tickets to this event are on sale
now at the Branch so stop by today and get on board!

YOU MAKE MORE POSSIBLE “A medical condition left me unable to work and out of options. With summer coming, I
knew I did not want my child to sit home all day, but did not know where to turn for
help. The Y offered me financial assistance to send
my daughter to camp and provided my family with a
membership to be able to take steps to become
healthier together. My daughter made new friends,
learned new skills, and had a blast! Our family
enjoyed coming in and swimming in the refreshing
pool in the heat of summer too! I'm so grateful for
their support so I could give my entire family a great
summer experience .” - The Thompson Family
