The goal is to help young people develop potential. Dollars raised today will support that goal through programs like the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA and Boys and Girls Club, Bracey said. Other goals under the specific community fund include promoting economic self-sufficiency while maintaining basic needs and overcoming crisis, violence and substance abuse. Michigan State University also awarded a three-year research grant to support the youth initiative program. As education chair of the local United Way, Mike Kenney has a vested interest in the GivEm 40 campaign.
Schools are so much a part of a community.
If we don't step forward and be involved in the development process, we are really missing the boat. The Grand Traverse Herald. All rights reserved.
