We reeled in the fun at the YMCA Camp Harrison Fishing Tournament last Friday! A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Coca-Cola Consolidated for their generous support.
With your partnership and the support of 20 anglers and 11 sponsors, we raised $48,500. These funds will provide camp scholarships, giving kids the chance to make life-long memories, build relationships, and learn new skills.
Your support is truly making a difference in our community!

We have National Water Safety Month for a reason. Alarmingly, 70% of drownings for young children happen during non-swim times.
Teaching your children to be water smart is the first step in water safety—be sure they understand the importance of asking permission before going in or near the water.

Mental health is how we think, feel and act. We recognize that we all have mental health, and mental health is an important part of our overall health and social-emotional well-being.
SHARE these support methods to help change the stigma of how we see mental health:
⭐️ Understand mental health as something we all have—it is how we think, feel, and act.
⭐️ Apply routine positive self-care practices.
⭐️ Engage in genuine conversations with empathy and the intent of building meaningful relationships.
⭐️ Recognize the impact of social determinants of health, systemic racism, discrimination and marginalization on mental health.
