FAMILY YMCA

2. Dear potential community partner,
The Donelson-Hermitage Family YMCA would like to thank you for your interest in our
mission as a worldwide charitable fellowship united by a common loyalty to Jesus Christ for
the purpose of helping people grow in spirit, mind and body. Working together we will
reach so many and offer Hope for Life by inspiring youth, improving health, serving others
and creating community.
The YMCA provides an environment where people of all ages, faiths, races, backgrounds
and abilities work toward building friendships, experiencing the joy of helping others, and
achieving their God-given fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.
It is only through the generous donations of those like you that make our life changing
programs possible. Every penny you give goes toward our outreach programs with nothing
used for administration cost.
When you give to the Y, you continue to strengthen our community and move us all
forward. As the nation's leading nonprofit for youth development, healthy living and social
responsibility, the Y uses your gift to make a meaningful, enduring impact right in your own
neighborhood.
Thank you again for taking the time to learn about the YMCA and Community Partnerships.
Please, won’t you join us?
Gratefully yours,
BJ Keener Angela Mathis Frye

3. OUR VISION
To offer Hope for Life to people of all ages, faiths, races, backgrounds and abilities, regardless of
their socio-economic circumstances. Through a range of relationship-focused, impactful programs,
services, partnerships and collaborations, we will offer hope throughout Middle Tennessee and
southern Kentucky by:
INSPIRING YOUTH
By 2020, a third of the youth in our community will experience a sense of belonging through the
YMCA, and we will increase our efforts to impact youth in underserved communities, especially those
who are most challenged educationally and socio-economically. Recognizing the fundamental role
literacy plays in positive youth development, all YMCA children and teens will read at grade level.
IMPROVING HEALTH
Our YMCA will offer a path for all to live healthier in spirit, mind and body. Twenty percent of
adults in our community (1 in 5) will improve their health through the YMCA and our community's
youth obesity rate will be cut in half by 2020.
SERVING OTHERS
We will support a culture of philanthropy that recognizes the mutual benefit that results through the
sharing of time, talent or financial resources and will engage a quarter of a million people in service
to others through the YMCA by 2020.
CREATING COMMUNITY
Our YMCA will provide opportunities for people to make meaningful connections with one another to
enrich lives, renew the spirit and foster a sense of belonging. By 2020, 1 in 3 people in our
community will be involved in the YMCA.

4. OUR STRENGTH IS IN COMMUNITY
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-
side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income
or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The Y is a
nonprofit like no other. That’s because in 10,000 neighborhoods across the
nation, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but
deliver, positive change.
 The Y is community centered. For nearly 135 years, we’ve been listening
and responding to our communities.
 The Y brings people together. We connect people of all ages and
backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.
 The Y nurtures potential. We believe that everyone should have the
opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
 The Y has local presence and global reach. We mobilize local communities
to effect lasting, meaningful change.
OUR IMPACT IS FELT EVERY DAY
With a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that
build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all, our impact is felt when an
individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a
community comes together for the common good.

5. At the Donelson-Hermitage Family YMCA, we provide programs, services and initiatives designed to
help everyone in our community to learn, grow and thrive. In the process, we enable children and teens
to reach their potential, empower people of all ages to be healthier in spirit, mind and body and
support neighbors in need.
At our family YMCA, we offer a wide range of programs and classes – enough to keep the whole family
busy. We offer free fitness classes like Zumba® and cycling, Body Pump®, R.I.P.P.E.D. ®, Dance Blast,
step aerobics, Pilates, yoga, water aerobics and kick boxing. In addition to group exercise, we offer to
expansive Wellness floors with a variety of cardio and strength training machines. Free equipment
orientations can be scheduled at your convenience. In addition, we also offer free Polar Fit testing as
well as free personalized fitness programs through our 3-N-1 program. Personal trainers are also on
staff for those that need more one-on-one with a fitness professional.
While you exercise, your kids get to have their own fun in Y-Play or Youth Activity Center (YAC). They
even have their own fitness class – Cardio Kids Blast – every Monday – Wednesday. Y-Play and YAC
are geared towards kids ages 6 weeks to 12 years old and is programmed with activities and exercise
for the children so they can have fun while getting some much needed exercise. Youth programming
at the Y strives to keep kids healthy and active every day.
At the Donelson Y, we have 2 pools to use – both indoor (heated) and outdoor – in addition to our
sauna and steam room. With extensive aquatics programming, the YMCA is the place for you to come
year round to exercise or just get in the pool and have fun. We offer private and group swim lessons,
aquatics fitness classes, free swim, swim team (USA Swimming, Nashville Swim League and YMCA
Middle TN Association) and pool rentals.
Our center also has one of the largest youth sports programs in the association with around 3000
children involved in soccer, baseball, indoor soccer and basketball throughout the year. We also offer
summer camps, school break camps, cheerleading, dance, music lessons and martial arts.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

6. SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Our outreach programs are intended to the fill the gaps left by other
community programs. Our outreach programs are fully funded by the generous donations
of community members and sponsors with nothing going toward administration or
operational costs. At the Donelson YMCA, we have the following outreach programs:
FULL CIRCLE
Full circle provides social and recreational opportunities to help children with special needs grow in
spirit, mind and body. Offered as a free service to YMCA members ages 3–21 with special needs, the
year-round program’s services include swim lessons and sports such as spring and fall soccer,
basketball and kickball. We have also begun offering social and recreational opportunities for our
adult members with special needs, including weekly game time and a walking club.
AFTER BREAST CANCER (ABC)*
After Breast Cancer provides comprehensive nutrition, exercise and wellness services free of charge
to breast cancer patients and survivors. During the 16-week program, participants receive full
access to the Y, a custom wellness plan design by a Pink Ribbon Certified Personal trainer, nutrition
counseling from a registered dietitian and encouragement and support from caring staff members as
well as fellow breast cancer survivors. (This program is serves our center but is based out of the
Southern Hills YMCA.)
LEARN TO SWIM (LTS)
The YMCA Learn to Swim Program teaches basic life sustaining swimming skills to first
grade students in Nashville. Through a partnership with Metro Nashville Public
Schools, students are bused to one of six YMCA pools, including the Donelson-
Hermitage YMCA, to participate in swim lessons free of charge during their normal P.E. time.
Through this program, more than 75 percent of participants gain the skills needed to prevent
themselves from drowning.

7. OPEN DOORS
Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age,
income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Last year, the YMCA of Middle
Tennessee provided more than $14 million in charitable subsidies and other forms of financial
assistance locally. At the Donelson-Hermitage Family YMCA, financial subsidies/scholarships are
offered for our Sports, Camp (including Camp Little Y) and Swim Lessons programs. Such assistance
is only made possible thanks to generous contributions to the Annual Giving Campaign. Financial
assistance assures that no one is ever turned away from the YMCA, or its programs, based upon
their ability to pay.

8. IMPRESSIONS
The Donelson-Hermitage Family YMCA provides thousands of impression opportunities
every day. Your sponsorship will be exposed to approximately 13,300 members in addition
to their guests. Every day, 1,600 members walk into our facility and will see our
acknowledgement of your support of the mission and work of the YMCA and your
commitment to our community.
