LEADERSHIP MESSAGE
Throughout Wisconsin, countless people know the YMCA. But there’s so much more to the Y than one
might think. From exercise to education, from volleyball to volunteering, from preschool to preventive
health, the Y doesn’t just strengthen our bodies – we strengthen community. We’re a cause, dedicated
to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
We’ve been proud to help our neighbors learn, grow, and thrive. Yet we’re called to do so much more.
Our region faces new challenges that create a greater need than ever for the work we do every day.
Fortunately, where some see obstacles, we see opportunities to make a difference.
For 28 years, our Y has been here:



Developing and delivering programs that emphasize prevention and a proactive commitment to
Healthy Living.
Partnering with educators and parents to support learning, health and well-being long after
school hours.
Serving as a gathering place for individuals of all backgrounds to come together on common
ground.
The Marshfield Area YMCA is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected,
and secure children, adults, families, and communities. Every day our impact is felt when an individual
makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child, and when our community comes together for the
common good.
In reviewing the 2014 Annual Report, you will read about many of our
accomplishments but more importantly you will read about stories of
impact. As we move beyond 2014, we will focus on collaboration,
developing quality youth programs, strengthening our roots in the
community, continuing with facility and equipment upgrades, and
building on our YMCA’s legacy.
Teri Wilczek
Chief Volunteer Officer
John Nystrom
Chief Executive Officer
Today, the Y is at a tipping point of making true, community-wide change. It is our volunteers, donors,
staff and supporters who have made this progress possible. And it is the volunteers and staff, working
together, who will drive the Y and the communities we serve forward.
We are thankful for the many volunteers, donors, and members whose commitment to our mission is so
critical to our continuing success.
Sincerely,
Teri Wilczek
Chief Volunteer Officer

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen
Y Summer Day Camp Field Trip
Y Summer Day Camp Community Garden Harvest
OUR IMPACT:
We believe all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can
achieve. Our Y provides $91,507 in assistance for children and teen programs: After
School, Youth Aquatics, Day Camp, Water Wise and Youth Sports programs, which are
intended to promote personal achievement and support working families. 1,914 kids are
enrolled in these programs that enable them to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and
nurturing environment.
Holly and Kayin are so thankful for the YMCA Financial Assistance Program. Because of this program, they
have been able to participate in fitness classes, swim lessons, and summer day camp. Holly says “the quality
of care in the summer day camp is excellent and the best part is that neither Kayin or myself have ever been
made to feel like we were less welcome or undeserving because we could not pay the full amount.”
“Everyone is so kind and we are treated with the same respect and care as everyone else. That to me is huge!”
Holly states. “Because of the financial assistance program at the Y, my son has developed athletic skills and
self-esteem. He comes home every day with a smile on his face and is always excited and proud to tell me his
accomplishments in the swimming pool or on the rock climbing wall. I love that we have a place to go where we
feel welcome and also can work on fitness and personal growth. Every day we are here is a new adventure and
a new learning experience. It not only benefits my child, but provides me an opportunity to help him grow and
to be a part of it. I can’t say enough how thankful I am for the Y’s financial assistance program.”
18%
Of the children enrolled in swim lessons
are learning this lifelong skill thanks to
the Annual Support Campaign.

HEALTHY LIVING
Improving the community’s health and well-being
16%
Of our members are able to belong as a
result of our community giving and
financial assistance program.
OUR IMPACT:
We are committed to helping people live longer, healthier lives. With a mission centered on balance, we
bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports,
fun, and shared interests. $163,923 in direct assistance was provided to children, adults, and families
to allow them to afford their Y membership and wellness programs. 10,427 children, adults, and
seniors were active and engaged members and program participants at our Y through personal fitness
activities, wellness classes, and Youth Fit 4 Life.
In August 2013, Phil was involved in a rock slide resulting in a compound fracture of the femer and tibula of
both legs, fracture of left arm, shoulder separation and amputation of a finger. After a few weeks in an Idaho
hospital, he was transferred to a nursing home in Marshfield, where he began rehab. A month later, he was
discharged from the nursing home. He then began physical therapy at Marshfield Clinic two days a week. A
regular Y member who used the Marshfield Area YMCA to maintain health, he now found it to be a necessity
for his rehabilitation.
Along with the two days a week at Marshfield Clinic Physical Therapy, he added working out at the YMCA five
days a week. He treated his Y visits for rehab as a part-time job, reporting for work. Rehab progressed as a
result - progression such as being able to use the YMCA stairs rather than the elevator. His physical
therapists gave him exercises to incorporate at the Y and also made sure that he was not developing any bad
habits in the rehab process. After his wounds were healed, he used the Y’s whirlpool, therapy pool, and swam
laps in the large pool. Even though Phil has some workout equipment at home, the Marshfield Area YMCA was
a critical part of his successful rehab, along with the support and encouragement from staff and fellow
members. Phil has now returned to his full-time job.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors
Rick and Barb Muller
Marshfield YMCA Cheese Chase
OUR IMPACT:
We believe in giving back to our neighbors. For 28 years, our Y has been developing skills
and emotional well-being through welcoming all people and building a healthier
community through collaborations. We provided in-kind support valued at $35,782 to
32 community-based organizations through facility usage, access to training,
partnership and free programs open to the entire community.
Rick and Barb Mueller, Co-Chairs for the 2014 YMCA Annual Campaign, know how fortunate they are to work and
live in a caring community like Marshfield. They have seen first-hand the generosity and compassion that the
residents of Marshfield consistently give when the need is apparent, and the cause is just.
The Muellers realize the value of a healthy lifestyle. “While training over the years for different events, we’ve
used the resources of the YMCA to keep in shape, and we know that so many others can benefit the same way we
have. Unfortunately, financial barriers, and family or child care issues, can prevent people from helping
themselves through a healthy, active lifestyle.” The Annual Campaign raises money for scholarships and programs
that benefit all age groups. Having been a stay-at-home mom for 17 years, Barb knows that active kids are
healthier, happier, and tend to make healthier choices as they grow. “I feel strongly that kids should be able to
exercise and play, and socialize with other kids in a healthy environment, and certainly the Y offers that.
Unfortunately, we know that there are financial issues that prevent parents and kids from participating in all the
benefits and programs the Y has to offer.” Rick and Barb also know that those issues span across the
generations. “So many Senior Adults could benefit too, but many are on small fixed incomes that make joining the
Y difficult. Think of the incredible health improvements and social connections those Seniors could enjoy with just
a bit of exercise on a regular basis.”
100%
Of the people who want to participate
in Y programs are able to do so,
regardless of their ability to pay.

guidance, and resources needed to achieve better health and
well-being.

programs that strengthen community.
