Atmore YMCA To Remain Open Through At Least 2015
December 2, 2014
A few months after announcing that the Atmore YMCA would close its doors due to a poor financial outlook, the organizations board now says the Y will remain open for 2015.
Back in July, the YMCA announced it was track to close its doors permanently in August. But within just a few weeks, the Y announced the community had stepped forward with funding to keep the doors open.
Now, the Atmore YMCA’s board of directors has announced that fundraising has exceeded expectations.
“Through the generosity of local businesses and individuals, we have surpassed our goal to raise $75,000,” the board said in a news release. “We have streamlined our staffing and have outsourced costly services to reduce our expenses. Webelieve this, coupled with expanding our programs and membership of the Atmore YMCA will continue to grow and prosper.”
The Atmore YMCA has served Atmore and surrounding areas since June 1995. The Atmore YMCA currently has over 500 memberships representing about 1,250 members.
For more information or to donate to the Atmore YMCA, call (251) 368-9622 or stop by 501 South Pensacola Avenue in Atmore.
