EXCITING Programs
Setting Up The Game
Valerie Quarles came into the Southwest YMCA three years ago looking
for help. She had gone through some rough times, and was concerned
for her children. She had decided to go back to school so that she could
make a better life for her family, but wanted to make sure that someone
would be able to help her keep her youngest son, Jaquil, on track. As
a single mom, she worked during the day and would therefore have to
go to school at night. Thankfully, the YMCA staff happily agreed to help
Valerie by getting Jaquil engaged in YMCA programs where he’d have
plenty of activities, homework support and positive role models.
Jaquil started coming to the Southwest YMCA’s Teen City every day after school.
“None of us wanted to let Valerie down, so we made sure that we kept encouraging
him to stay on track academically,” says Kenneth Lee, Southwest YMCA Executive
Director. Lee says this was a difficult task in Jaquil’s first year, as he struggled to
complete his schoolwork and often was upset because he missed out on fun activities.
In year two, Jaquil set a goal of achieving a 3.0 grade point average, and came very
close, achieving a GPA of 2.92. This year, though, he made the honor role.
“Jaquil went from failing classes to making the honor roll and we are very proud of
him.” says Lee. “He has grown so much in our program and I think he is going to be
a future leader.”
Jaquil has enjoyed positive changes beyond good grades.
“I used to be really shy,” he admits. “I didn’t do well in school
and was sad all the time.” He says that his time at the YMCA
and with Mr. Lee has helped him to do better at school and
he’s matured a lot. Now he gets along with other kids better and
looks forward to finishing high school and pursuing a career in
computers or politics.
“I knew Jaquil could do it.” says Valerie, who just completed her
degree as a Medical Assistant. She was recently hired at a local
university, and is now feeling more financially stable. “We needed
help, both of us did. The YMCA made it possible for us to succeed.”
Promoting
the Holistic
Development
of Children
and Youth
The YMCA is a place
where children and teens
can learn, dream, grow
and achieve things they
never thought possible.
Whether learning to swim,
climbing a mountain at
summer camp or
developing a bill in our
Youth and Government
program, kids of all
ages find the supportive
environment and positive
role models they need to
become healthy, strong
adults. This past year,
the YMCA of Greater
Rochester supported the
development of children
and youth by:
• Opening three new
Tween Wellness Centers
at the Bay View,
Eastside and Westside
Branches to bridge the
gap in providing health
and wellness programs
for 8 —12 year-olds.
• Launching a new
“Healthy Beginnings”
initiative in cooperation
with the Greater
Rochester Health
Foundation, which
focuses on physical
activity and nutrition
education for
preschoolers.
How To Play
If you belong to the Monroe YMCA Branch,
then you probably know Amanda Rogers, Sava
Dunoska and Dawn Goodman. They can usually
be found cracking jokes at each other during
the Wednesday morning coffee hour that they
run for the Active Older Adults or volunteering
for the latest fund raiser that the Branch is
hosting. “They even recruit new members
for their SilverSneakers class while in line
at Wal-Mart!” says Nicole Meyer, Marketing
Coordinator for the Monroe Branch. “They organize social hours
and are a large part of why our events are so successful. They give a new meaning
to the word volunteers – they are more like Special Ops!” So who are these three ladies? They all live within a two mile radius from the
Monroe Branch, but didn’t become friends until they met each other at the YMCA.
Dawn came first five years ago, in a wheelchair with very little mobility. She now
comes to exercise classes three days a week and as a result, is moving around on
her own with little or no pain. Sava became a member four years ago, after she lost
her husband. She didn’t want to come at first, she admits, but her daughter insisted
that she needed more exercise since she had really bad arthritis and hardly ever
left the house. She now attends a cardio class three times a week and is much
more social, meeting with groups and offering to help out whenever there is work
to be done. Amanda was the last to join the troupe three years ago, when she was
invited by a neighbor. She now runs the coffee club and keeps everyone laughing
in the pool where she swims three mornings a week. “These are my best friends now,” says Sava. “It doesn’t matter if we are selling
items at a garage sale or running a spaghetti dinner, it’s not work to us. It’s more
about spending time together.” Dawn adds, “We love this place and the people are
so nice. That’s why we come.” “Be honest,” quips Amanda. “We come for the free
coffee!” And they all laugh.
Melinda Peck, Executive Director of the Monroe Branch, acknowledges that the
YMCA needs them as much as they need the YMCA. “They are an integral part
of our community at the Monroe YMCA,” says Peck, “and I believe we are an
essential part of their lives as well. We couldn’t do what we do here without them.”
Keeping
Seniors Active
and Healthy
Our active older adults
prove every day that
you’re never too old to
get in the game. Whether
flying down a zip line at
Camp Cory, playing cards
with friends, or becoming
stronger in a group
exercise class, seniors can
find plenty of opportunity
to maintain social
connections, learn new
skills and have fun at
the YMCA. Last year,
our YMCA helped to
strengthen older adults by:
• Enabling more than
12,000 seniors to get
active and healthy
through group exercise
classes, social activities,
senior camping and
volunteer opportunities.
• Providing opportunities
for older workers to
stay engaged in the
workforce and share
their knowledge and
assets with the YMCA,
as evidenced by our
YMCA’s #4 national
ranking on the AARP’s
list of “Top Employers
for Workers over 50.”
Winning The Game
Growing up, exercise was not a priority for Greg LaDuca. Overweight for most of
his adult life, he had started dieting hundreds of times with little or no success. That
is until January 2006, when his sister called and said that she was getting married
that fall. Weighing in at 268, he recommitted himself once again to losing weight—
only this time, he turned to the Westside Family YMCA for help.
“It was hard at first,” Greg says, “leaving my pregnant wife and two sons at home.
I started to work out every evening after dinner, often missing out on quality time
with the family.” After meeting with a YMCA Ready-Fit coach, he began a cardio
program to lose weight and a circuit training program to build muscle. The results
were amazing. By the time his sister was married nine months later, he was down
to 180 pounds and his family and friends could hardly recognize him.
Greg reports, “I reached my goal and have the Westside YMCA to thank for it;
but this is not the end of my story…” Over the past three years, the YMCA has
become not only a permanent part of his daily routine, but his whole family has
also become involved. “We place Robbie, our three year-old, in Child Watch; Ned,
our six year-old, in the Adventure Center; and Tim, our nine year-old, in the Fun/Fit
Zone. Then my wife and I are able to work out together.”
And that, according to his wife Bridget, is what makes the YMCA so great.
“Where else can we go that has age appropriate activities for the
whole family?” She also loves that her kids are making friends
with the other children that are there. Bridget says, “Now we
just plan play dates here at the Y, instead of at our house.
You have no idea how great that is!”
Greg continues to maintain a healthy weight, but is even
more proud that he has become a role model for his boys.
“Now, my family and I take every opportunity to be active,
whether we take a walk, go to the park, or come here to the
YMCA. They may not know it now, but I am teaching them
how to be healthy for the rest of their lives, and they won’t have
to learn the hard way like I did.”
Supporting and
Strengthening
Families
The YMCA helps families
build meaningful bonds,
achieve balance and
become more engaged
in their communities. At
the YMCA, families can
play together in one of our
many Family Adventure
Centers, or can enjoy
more structured activities
like family fitness classes,
family camps or YMCA
Adventure Guides. This
past year, the YMCA of
Greater Rochester
supported stronger
families by:
• Engaging more than
3,000 families in
community outreach
activities such as YMCA
Splash Week and
Healthy Kids Day, which
are designed to educate
families with health and
safety information.
• Providing more than
150 local families of
active military personnel
with opportunities for
family strengthening
activities and health
and wellness programs
through the YMCA
Military Outreach
Initiative.
Teaching Others To Play
When Anita Cantabene, staff member at the Northwest Family YMCA, was diagnosed
with cancer in 2005, she knew she was going to need support from her co-workers.
What she didn’t know was how that support was actually going to help her get better.
“After I was done with treatment, and the doctors had
done all they could do, I came here and started water
walking,” says Anita. “My body was so run down; it
was all I could do at first. The staff here were great,
always asking me how I was doing and suggesting
new exercises to build my strength and endurance.”
Eventually, she was able to start working on cardio
machines and lifting weights. Doctors were amazed
at her progress and often commented on how well
she was recovering, which Anita credits to the YMCA.
“It wasn’t just the physical support they offered me; it
was the emotional support as well. People cared for
me on a personal level, not as a patient. That’s what
made the difference.”
Now, Anita has the chance to give back to the YMCA,
by helping others in cancer recovery in a new pilot
program called LIVESTRONG at the YMCA. The
Northwest Family YMCA in Greece is one of only a
dozen YMCAs across the country chosen to participate
in this project through a partnership with the Lance Armstrong Foundation. It is
a 12-week physical activity program designed for adult cancer survivors who have
recently become de-conditioned or chronically fatigued from their treatment or
disease, free of cost for those who qualify.
“There are some common concerns among cancer survivors such as fatigue,
fear of recurrence, depression or stress from mounting medical bills,” explains
Deb Duffy, Senior Associate Executive Director at the Northwest YMCA and
LIVESTRONG Program Coordinator. “Having Anita on our team helps us identify
with the participants in a way we would never be able to as instructors, and of
course, they really benefit by having someone to talk to that’s been there.”
Inspiring
Healthier
Lifestyles
Since our association’s
founding in 1854, health
and wellness programs
have been an integral part
of our YMCA mission of
building a healthy spirit,
mind and body. Through
Activate America, we
have renewed our
commitment to this mission
by reaching out to health
seeking children, teens,
adults and seniors to
provide the support they
need and the opportunities
they desire in their journey
to better health. Last year,
the YMCA of Greater
Rochester inspired healthy
lifestyles by:
• Engaging more than
100,000 members and
program participants
in health and wellness
programs that enable
them to set and achieve
personal goals.
• Reaching out to the
community through
partnerships with
organizations like the
Lance Armstrong
Foundation and the
University of Rochester’s
Center for Community
Health to deliver health
and wellness programs
to new and at-risk
populations.
How To Stay In The Game
When the Davis family decided they needed an “Adirondack Adventure” back in
1968, little did they know they’d be starting a tradition that would span four decades
and three generations…so far.
“We were looking for an outdoor experience that we could enjoy as a family, and our
neighbors, Al and Peela Hooke, showed us photos of Family Camp at YMCA Camp
Gorham,” explains Laura Davis. “My first question was, ‘Why are they wearing
parkas in August?’ but from the smiles on all the faces, I could see it looked like fun.”
The Davis’ packed up their three kids – Sally, age 8; Larry III, age 5; and Nancy,
age 2 – and headed to Eagle Bay for their first Camp Gorham experience. Despite
a rocky start that included one very rainy week and a flying squirrel in their cabin
during which Larry Jr. bellowed, “Never again!” the Davis’ have returned to Laurel
Cabin each summer. In fact, Camp Gorham has become such a part of the Davis
family fabric that they’ve vetted significant others and have even chosen colleges
based on a late start in order to attend Family Camp.
But the Davis family’s commitment to Camp Gorham did not end with Family
Camp. Larry, Sally and Nancy all attended summer camp for many years, and both
Nancy and Sally became camp counselors. In 2002, the Davis’ decided to make a
long-term commitment to the Camp, adopting their beloved Laurel Cabin to enable
its complete renovation so that it could be enjoyed for generations to come. Their
lead gift was just the kick start Camp Gorham needed for its capital campaign,
which enabled a variety of other improvements as well.
“I can’t imagine what our lives would be like without Camp Gorham,” says Larry
III. “It’s become part of our family’s DNA.” Larry Jr. adds, “The best part has been
watching our kids and grandkids grow up there. Camp Gorham has built a great
bond and amazing memories for our family and it is without a doubt the number
one thing we look forward to each year.”
Their granddaughter, Maddy – whose family travels from California each summer
to attend Family Camp – agrees. She wrote about her love of Camp Gorham in
a recent school assignment, where she said, “I like Camp because it is the place
where my family is all crowded up together.” And whether it’s square dancing
as a family or chasing squirrels out of cabins, “crowded up together” at Camp
Gorham is the perfect place to be for the Davis family.
Developing
Lifelong Bonds
Philanthropy and
volunteerism are at the
heart of our YMCA. Thanks
to nearly 10,000 donors
and more than 2,000
volunteers who pledge their
time, talent and treasure,
the YMCA of Greater
Rochester ensures that
programs and services
are available to ALL
people, regardless of
financial means. This past
year, our YMCA fulfilled
its charitable mission by:
• Providing financial
assistance to over
19,000 children, families,
adults and seniors
who otherwise would
not have been able to
benefit from a YMCA
experience.
• Stepping up to provide
$80,000 in bridge
funding for nearly 60
families who lost their
county child care
assistance, ensuring
that their children would
continue to have access
to quality child care.
The Rewards
Collaboration Award
Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School
The YMCA of Greater Rochester presents the Collaboration Award each
year to a company or organization that has partnered with us to enhance
awareness and extend the reach of our mission in the community. In
2000, our YMCA was approached by the Eugenio Maria de Hostos
Charter School to provide physical education for students at the school,
and what started as a basic gym class has blossomed into something
much more meaningful. With a shared commitment of helping both
children and their families to lead healthier, more productive lives, our
YMCA and the EMHCS have joined forces to provide programs and
activities that really make a difference. From Family Fun Nights that
include swimming at the YMCA, to family events like sledding and bowling,
to parent support programs that provide education and resources to build a
stronger family, the YMCA and the EMHCS are true partners in helping students
and their families succeed.
Donald Leiske Volunteer Service Award
Carl Smith, Carlson MetroCenter Family Branch
The YMCA Donald Leiske Volunteer Service Award recognizes outstanding long-term
branch volunteerism and contributions to program development. Donald Leiske was an
ardent supporter of our Westside Family YMCA, who gave of his time and talents
to help further the YMCA's mission in our westside communities. Our 2009
recipient, Carl Smith, has been the cornerstone of the Carlson MetroCenter
Branch’s Saturday basketball program for many years. Recently highlighted
in the Democrat and Chronicle, the program has a tremendous following,
thanks in great part to Carl’s leadership. Every Saturday, you’ll find Carl on
the court organizing teams, setting games, keeping score and supporting the
players on and off the court. Carl loves volunteering in this capacity because
he enjoys the enthusiastic atmosphere and the energy of the players.
Carl is a true “connector director” at our YMCA, helping to build lasting
friendships, healthy rivalries and a close-knit community.
