About the Four Seasons YMCA

People in the Tazewell area have spoken loud and clear about their desire for additional health, fitness, and community services. They want a health and fitness center. They want a community center. They want wellness programs and they want a place for children to develop into healthy adults as well as a place for families to enjoy time together. The Four Seasons YMCA will address all of these wants and more.

For nearly 160 years YMCA's have been meeting the most pressing challenges of the communities we serve. The challenges have changed over time , and the YMCA has continually provided innovative responses.

Today, a new set of issues is calling the YMCA to act. Our nation’s lifestyle health choices are contributing to increased rates of disease and reduced quality of life. Families are finding it difficult to balance their work, family and civic life. Youth, regardless of family income are not receiving the support they need to develop positive skills and values that can guide them throughout their life.

Construction of the Four Seasons YMCA is now underway with a Spring 2009 opening scheduled. Bad weather in February 2008 and a decision to complete the pool at the same time the rest of the building is completed has caused the delay. A fund raising campaign continues to raise funds to build the facility with no debt and your financial support will be greatly appreciated. Support for the Four Seasons YMCA has been broad based as funding has come from individual, corporate, government, and foundation donations as well as donations from civic organizations and school groups.

Good Health Is A Choice

Good Health Is A Choice The primary reason that people have asked for the facility is to help them maintain a healthier lifestyle. Access to a wide variety of exercise equipment, introduction of new and different exercise and wellness programs, and the opportunity to participate in more athletic programs will help build that lifestyle. However, a total wellness program also consists of nutrition programs, weight management programs , cardiac rehabilitation, and strength training.

The Four Seasons YMCA will also be a community center and offer child care, meeting rooms, and other community services. It will become a very important community social center where people make friends and life long relationships are created and developed.

Your gifts will help us build the Y with no debt, create an endowment fund designed to assist the promotion of day to day operations, and keep our rates as low as possible.

IT’S UP TO YOU

We have the responsibility to build a healthier community…and it starts today! The health of our community (body, mind, and spirit) is the real issue behind the campaign. The Four Seasons YMCA will make a real difference in the lives of this area’s people. Won’t you help us make it a reality?
