This is done by a sliding fee system and special circumstance requests. “The Y has helped me to lose 35lbs. I started coming to the Y because they offer low-income assistance and this has helped me to provide swimming for my son and exercise for me. This has really made a difference to me for the stress relief and spiritual enlightenment it has brought to me and my son’s life without the Y actually caring and offering low-income assistance, I never would have been able to feel more physically and mentally fit.” YMCA Member Brett For All Program Annual Income Qualifications Family of 1 Family of 2 Family of 3 Family of 4 Family of 5 Family of 6 75% Off $9,500 $13,000 $16,500 $19,500 $22,500 $26,500 50% Off $11,500 $15,500 $20,000 $23,500 $27,500 $31,500 25% Off $13,500 $18,500 $23,500 $28,000 $32,500 $37,500 Register online at www.GHYMCA.NET Page 5 FOR YOUR INFORMATION We know firsthand how difficult it can be to find balance in life.
