Culver City Observer -

The Culver-Palms Family YMCA launched the 2015 Annual Support Campaign at a Kick Off Dinner on Thursday, October 29 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Culver City.

A highlight of the evening occurred when the Exchange Club of Culver City presented a check of $7,500 to the Y's Campaign, helping to lift the first night's tally to a total of $44,000.

An enthusiastic thank you to the Exchange Club and the many personal donors for their generous support in helping the Y celebrate an outstanding start to the 2015 Campaign.

The Y is a non-profit organization committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Every year the Y's Support Campaign raises funds exclusively for financial assistance, so that families in the community, regardless of income, can access the resources necessary for living an active, healthy and connected life.
