2013 annual report - YMCA of Middle Tennessee

YMCA OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
2013 ANNUAL REPORT
Our Mission: A worldwide charitable fellowship united by a common loyalty to
Jesus Christ for the purpose of helping people grow in spirit, mind and body.
Dear Friends,
For nearly 140 years, our YMCA has been listening and responding to our
community’s most pressing needs. The Y that took root in Nashville in 1875 with
a desire to nurture strong Christian characters in young men is today the region’s
largest nonprofit dedicated to strengthening community. In 2013, our Y offered
313,966 people—nearly a third of them children—the tools and support they
needed to learn, grow and thrive.
At the Y, we believe our community is strongest when we give people from all
walks of life the opportunity to grow in spirit, mind and body. As Paul’s letter to
the Corinthians reminds us, it takes many parts to form the body of Christ, and no
one part is more important than another. And so it is with the Y. It takes all of us—
combining our unique gifts and talents, to make a lasting impact in our community.
Like the pieces of a puzzle, when thousands of individuals come together for the
common good, the full picture of what’s possible in our community is revealed.
We hope this annual report offers a glimpse of what’s possible when dedicated
individuals join our cause of strengthening community. Through our shared
commitment to Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility, our
Y will continue to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve health and
well-being and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors in need.
And at a time when the achievement gap affects too many of our kids, when chronic
disease plagues our nation and when more and more people are struggling to make
ends meet, it’s never been more important for our Y to fulfill its Christian mission by
investing in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
To you, our volunteers, donors, friends and staff, we extend our deepest gratitude.
You are all important pieces in the puzzle that is our community, and we remain
forever grateful to all who joined hands with us in 2013 to ensure that our Y will
continue to strengthen our community for generations to come.
May God continue to bless each of you, and may He continue to bless the lifechanging work of our YMCA.

OUR IMPACT
TOTAL YOUTH
REACHED:
110,728
INSTILLED CHARACTER
VALUES AND LIFE SKILLS
in 37,681 youth and teens
who participated in YMCA
programs designed to promote
healthy exercise and nutrition
habits as well as the Y’s core
values of caring, honesty,
respect and responsibility.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the Potential of
Every Child and Teen
We believe that all kids deserve the
opportunity to discover who they are and
what they can achieve. That’s why, through
the Y, millions of youth—including more
than 100,000 in our region—are cultivating
the values, skills and relationships that lead
to positive behaviors, better health and
educational achievement.
OUR STRATEGIES
Give Kids a Place to Belong
How a child spends their time away from
school and home can be critical to their
success. The Y gives youth and teens a
safe place to belong while offering quality
programs and services that make sure our
kids’ learning and growth never stops.
Teach Values and Life Skills
PROVIDED CRITICAL
BEFORE- AND
AFTER-SCHOOL CARE
to 9,723 participants
in YMCA Fun Co.
The Y connects kids to caring adult role
models whose example and leadership
demonstrate the critical character values
and life skills they’ll need to reach their full
potential in life.
Foster Healthy Habits
PREVENTED SUMMER
LEARNING LOSS
by allowing 6,604 youth the
chance to experience the magic
and adventure of summer camp.
Children can only thrive when they are healthy
in all areas of life—spirit, mind and body.
That’s why our Y has committed resources to
a wide range of youth wellness programs and
initiatives—from diabetes prevention to youth
sports—designed to keep kids healthy and
lower our community’s youth obesity rate.
Help Those Most in Need
TAUGHT LIFE-SAVING
SWIM LESSONS
to 8,758 youth
and teens
Whether it’s providing a literacy tutor to
close a child’s achievement gap, offering
swim lessons in communities with a higher
risk of drowning or providing a mentor to a
teen trying to overcome a past mistake, the
Y believes in giving every child the chance
to reach their potential, regardless of their
socio-economic circumstances.
Giving Kids a
Place to Thrive
When Paola Morales
first visited the DonelsonHermitage Family YMCA
nearly a decade ago, she
thought she was joining a
gym for adults. “But when
I went there, I saw that
everything—everything
was about family.”
At the time, her youngest son,
Giancarlo, was just a baby.
Today, he’s an active 10-year-old
whom Paola says would rather
spend time at the Y than
anywhere else. “We’re
usually at the Y at least
five days a week,” Paola
says, “but even on days
that I may not feel like
going, my kids are like,
‘Mom, come on, let’s go
to the Y.’ They’d rather
be there than at home
or even the movies.”
Like more than 100,000 other
youth and teens in our community,
Giancarlo and his older brothers
spend much of their out-of-school
time at the YMCA, and Paola says
the safe and nurturing environment
has been a Godsend for her family.
All three of her sons are active
youth sports participants and day
campers, so for Paola, the Y’s
commitment to Youth Development
means her children’s learning doesn’t
end with the sound of the school bell.
She knows the character values, positive
behaviors and social skills her kids are
learning will help them become confident,
connected and responsible adults.
“Everyone at the Y—from the sports coaches to swim
instructors—treats us like family. As a parent, it’s
great to look out while you’re exercising and see your kids
having fun and learning to follow directions and become
leaders for other kids.”
HEALTHY
LIVING
OUR STRATEGIES
Encourage Healthy Families
Improving the
Nation’s Health
and Well-Being
In communities across the
nation, the Y is a leading
voice on health and wellbeing. With a mission
centered on balance, the
Y brings families closer
together, encourages
good health and fosters
connections through
fitness, sports, fun and
shared interests.
As a result, hundreds of
thousands of youth, adults
and families in Middle
Tennessee are receiving
the support, guidance
and resources needed to
achieve greater health and
well-being for the spirit,
mind and body.
As our community’s leading provider of familybased wellness services, the Y is uniquely positioned
to help families live healthier lifestyles. From our
family-friendly group fitness classes to incorporating
physical activity into every one of our youth
programs, our Y is committed to making it easier for
families in our community to make healthy choices.
Break the Income-Obesity Connection
Studies show that individuals and families with
the lowest incomes are considerably more likely to
become obese compared to households with higher
incomes. Through our Income-based Rate Scale
and other forms of financial assistance, the Y is
working to help everyone in our community improve
their health and well-being regardless of financial
circumstances.
Assist Targeted Health Populations
Programs such as the YMCA Diabetes Prevention
Program, Full Circle and After Breast Cancer all serve
to meet the health and wellness needs of individuals
and families who most need our help. Our Y is also
partnering with area health providers to offer
medically-based services including physical therapy,
nutrition education and cardiac rehabilitation.

by serving as a leading

by inspiring others to

through events like

If the YMCA is going
to help our entire
community improve
their health and
well-being, our work
can’t begin and
end inside our own
facilities. That’s why
the Y works with
community partners
and leaders in all
levels of government
to advocate for
public policies and
programs that can
help everyone in
our community stay
active and make
healthy choices.
Challenging Yourself to Make Healthy Choices
Keith Kenemer weighed 465 pounds, was bound to a wheelchair for a majority of
the time and suffering with diabetes, among other physical ailments. He knew he
was heading in the wrong direction—and fast.
Then Keith joined the North Rutherford YMCA, and began to transform his life
one day, and one healthy choice, at a time. He started by using the weight machines
on the wellness floor and attending water aerobics classes. He and his wife also
transformed their diet, following a simple rule of thumb: “If God makes it and it
grows on a plant or on a tree; you eat it. If a human makes it in a (manufacturing)
plant, you don’t eat it.”
The result: Thanks to Keith’s hard work and
dedication, and some much-appreciated
advice and support from YMCA staff, he
has been able to lose more than 180
pounds. He’s also been able to
cut his medication intake by
more than 50% and regain
control of his diabetes.
“You have to learn to make
wise choices,” he explains,
“and those choices are
something that is not
necessarily easy for
a lot of people and
that is where the
staff of the Y
comes in.
“The Y offers
everyone
the chance
to challenge
yourself, and
the staff members
are there to help push
you along and give you
encouragement from a
Christian perspective.
I can’t tell you how
much that means.”

Giving Back and
Providing Support
to Our Neighbors
Our Y has been listening
to and responding to our
communities’ most critical
social needs for nearly
140 years. That history
has taught us that lasting
personal and social change
only comes when we join
hands to work together
and support one another.
That’s why we’re committed
to fostering a sense of
social responsibility in our
community by providing
opportunities for people to
give back, make meaningful
connections with one another
and develop the community
support and resources
needed to meet our region’s
most critical needs.
known: that when people form positive and
mutually supportive relationships with one another,
they can accomplish remarkable things for both
themselves and their community. From group
exercise to teen centers to senior social clubs,
the Y seeks to provide opportunities for people
of all ages, backgrounds and incomes to make
meaningful connections with one another.
Providing Opportunities to Give Back
As a volunteer-led organization, the Y recognizes
the mutual benefit that results when people share
their time, talent and financial resources in support
of a cause larger than themselves. That’s why
we’ve made it a priority to develop new systems to
both help the Y engage its current volunteers and
encourage others in our community to give back
and support their fellow neighbors.
Community Partnerships
Recognizing that we must work together to
move our community forward, the Y seeks out
relationships with local schools, nonprofits,
businesses, churches and other partners who wish
to join hands in our effort to give everyone the
opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
The Healing
Powers of
Community
Jeremy James moved to Nashville in 2011 to seek healing at a local recovery house
from his addiction to alcohol and drugs. As he started to work his way through
treatment, a friend suggested he try out the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA in east
Nashville, which partners with half-way houses to allow patients to work out as
part of their recovery.
After completing treatment and finding work, Jeremy was able to continue as a
member thanks to the Y’s Income-based Rate Scale, or IBRS. Last year, Jeremy was
among the approximately one in four Y members who received a total of $8.6 million in
financial assistance so they could belong to the Y in their community.
Venturing away from the security of the recovery house, Jeremy said the
environment at the Y provided a place where he didn’t have to worry about
temptations—which was important at that stage of his recovery­­—and supported
his new faith in God through its emphasis on Christian values. It was also a place
where he did not feel judged for his past.
“Before I hit bottom and found healing, the relationships I formed revolved around
the wrong places. After treatment, I didn’t know how to live life sober. The first
friends I made out of recovery were at the Y.”
2013 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
2013 was a challenging year in many respects. Like many other YMCA
associations around the country, our revenue growth has slowed significantly
over the past five years while costs have continued to rise. Despite over $2
million in annual savings from our 2012 debt refinancing and internal efforts
at cost containment through centralized purchasing and property management,
for the second year in a row our Income from Continuing Operations fell
slightly. Many of our high-volume membership centers which have historically
seen robust financial performance have been hit the hardest, both by the Great
Recession and by new competition for wellness services in our market.
To preserve our long-term sustainability, in August 2013 our Association
announced the closure of four membership centers and the restructuring of
many of our Youth Development and Urban Services programs. Also in 2013,
we made key investments in software and technology that should provide
significant return on investment over time. It is estimated that when all
savings are mature, these actions will restore over $1.2 million annually in
operating margin to the organization – a significant safeguard to ensure our
continued sustainability.
Financial Health Matters
The title of our 2014 budget plan is “Financial Health Matters” – a statement
that is perhaps more true for our Y now than ever. Our senior leadership team
recognizes that our operating environment has changed and is preparing for
success by setting attainable levels of growth, cutting where it hurts the least
and making smart investments in people, property and technology.
Fortunately, many of the ingredients needed for a fiscally healthy YMCA are
already present here in Middle Tennessee. We have a strong balance sheet,
with significant cash reserves; we have fantastic relationships with our lenders,
donors and vendors; and we have exceptional staff who are committed to
do whatever is necessary to sustain our legacy of strengthening community
through Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
Warm regards,
Rob Ivy

Marty joined the YMCA of Middle Tennessee board of directors in 2000 and has
remained a dedicated volunteer leader for nearly 14 years. When he accepted the
chairmanship in 2012, he joined hands with our staff to embark on a long-term
financial sustainability study that resulted in the restructuring of our membership
centers in 2013. Although the decisions made in the restructuring were extremely
difficult ones, Marty was a constant source of strength and wise counsel who was
ever mindful of the importance of ensuring the fiscal health of our nonprofit for
years to come. We can think of no one who was more dedicated to leading our Y
during a pivotal time in its history. Moreover, he extended his term as chair into
2014 to allow for continuity of leadership during our CEO search and transition.
Marty’s service to the YMCA is just one of the many ways he supports our
community. Throughout his 38-year career with AT&T he served as a volunteer
leader with countless organizations, and he has continued to do so following
his retirement as President of AT&T Tennessee in 2007. Marty served as the
founding chairman of the Music City Center Coalition, formed in 2003 as a
community-led effort to build a new convention center. He currently serves
as chairman of the Convention Center Authority which was responsible for
financing, constructing and now operating the new Music City Center.
He also serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Belmont University and
is past chair of a number of community boards including the Adventure Science
Center, Baptist/Saint Thomas Hospital Foundation Board, Boy Scouts of Middle
Tennessee, Family and Children’s Service, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce,
Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau and PENCIL Foundation. He has also
served on the boards of the Arts and Business Council, Fellowship of Christian
Athletes, The Nashville Symphony and Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music.
In addition, Marty currently serves as a founding board member and lead director
of Avenue Bank, board member of Genesco, board member of Blue Cross/Blue
Shield of Tennessee, board member of Lee Company and chairman of the board
of Harpeth Companies, an investment banking, consulting and ventures group. Marty’s leadership by example has earned him countless accolades in the
community, including the Diabetes Association’s “Father of the Year” (2006),
Kiwanis Club’s “Outstanding Nashvillian of the Year” (2006), Operation Andrew
Group’s Business Man of the Year / Joe & Honey Rodgers Leadership Award
(2010) and Boy Scouts’ Silver Beaver Award (2004). He was inducted into the St.
Thomas Hospital’s Seton Society in 2006. In 2012 he was honored by Belmont
University with the naming of Dickens Hall and he was named Nashvillian of the
Year by Easter Seals Tennessee in 2013.
Marty is a native of North Carolina and holds a bachelor’s degree from East
Carolina University and a Masters of Business Administration from Georgia State
University. He and his wife, Betty, have two sons. John, wife Sherri, and their
daughter Ally Grace and son Bo live in Atlanta, as do Jamey and his wife Sara.

2013 H.G. Hill Jr. Philanthropic Award
SANDRA AND
RICHARD FULTON
In 2013, the YMCA Foundation of Middle Tennessee
presented its highest honor, the H.G. Hill Jr. Philanthropic
Award, to longtime supporters Sandra and Richard Fulton.
An east Nashville native, Richard Fulton first became involved with the Y
when he was hired to be the very first staff member at what eventually
became the East Nashville YMCA. Thanks to a young Fulton, the Y began
offering family-oriented programs in the area long before the current
wellness center was built on Gallatin Road. Fulton would go on to be
elected to the Tennessee state senate in 1954, then to the U.S. House of
Representatives, and he would eventually serve three terms as Mayor of
Nashville, holding the post from 1975 to 1987.

Allison has been a blessing to our center since she was a program participant
in middle school. We watched her grow and blossom into a true servant leader
who was eventually elected Youth Governor by her peers and who continued to
return to our conferences as a volunteer year after year. We were blessed to
have her on our staff team after she graduated from college and are grateful that
she continues to volunteer with us
even though she’s moved on to new
career opportunities. Now a member
of our board, she’s just a phone call
away and always answers with a
willingness to serve.

Lisa Marie Gordon, Christ Church YMCA
Lisa’s impact on our center may be more profound than that of any other staff person,
member or volunteer. Since joining our board, she has shared the Y story with all those
willing to hear it, and even those who aren’t! Her advocacy and passion for our mission
has led to numerous partnerships benefitting both our YMCA and the surrounding
community. Her passion is contagious—she has volunteered what little free time she
has to work with our youth mentoring and Restore Ministries programs, and her
genuine love and compassion for all of God’s
children comes across in even the briefest
of meetings. Simply put, she’s one of the
best volunteers around.—Ryan Spiehler

His dedication brought dreams to life as we opened the North Clarksville YMCA

standards and highest ideals of
service. During the leadership
transition at the Joe C. Davis YMCA
Outdoor Center, William stayed on
as board chair to ensure that our
center remained true to its standards
and maintained its
dedication to the kids
and guests it serves. His
selfless act of staying
at the helm and leading
the staff inspired
everyone to strive for
better. His leadership
reflects a commitment

Stacy L. Andrick,
Margaret Maddox Family YMCA
In her tenure on our board, Stacy consistently exemplified
volunteerism at its finest. Her passion for health and desire
to invest in the east Nashville community led her to become
involved at the Y as a member, donor, friend and volunteer. She often helped serve the
homeless meals at our Feed the Need gathering, and as the chair of our Tomato 5K
committee, she joined with other volunteers to host our largest race ever, with 1,600
runners. She’s made a lasting impact on our annual campaign and continues to be a
vibrant member. You’ll often find her enjoying a spin class or taking her much loved
greyhound on a run. We’re grateful for her dedicated service to our center and the
difference that she continues to make in our community.—Judi Winfield-Ferri

Charles Taylor, YMCA School Age Services
The bus service that Mr. Taylor and Taylor Motors provide to our youth allows them
to enjoy so many opportunities that they otherwise may never get to experience. For
many of the disadvantaged youth we serve in our before, after and out-of-school
programs, summer field trips with the Y are the only chance they have to see things
outside of their neighborhood environment. Providing bus transportation may seem
like a simple thing, but it means the world to our kids. —Maeghan Wall
