Columbus, Ohio-January 25, 2009- On Thursday, February 12, 2009 the Eldon & Elsie Ward Family YMCA will hold its 2nd Annual Ward Family YMCA “Legacy Celebration” at the King Arts Complex starting at 5:30pm.
This year the Eldon & Elsie Ward Family YMCA, along with Senate Minority Whip Ray Miller will celebrate our past, present and future by Honoring Dr. Wilburn Weddington, City Councilwoman Charleta Tavares and State Representative Carlton Weddington for their dedication, commitment and service not only to the City of Columbus, but also to the Near Eastside residents and neighborhood.
Each year the Ward Family YMCA supports our community through financial scholarships that enable children, adults and families to participate in YMCA programs and services. Last year, the Eldon Ward awarded $60,000 in scholarships; this year the need has grown to almost $100,000! With the recent closing of several recreation centers throughout the Columbus community, options for providing our children with safe and healthy activities have been significantly reduced. That is why now, more than ever, supporting our neighborhood YMCA is critical! It is in this vein that the Ward Family YMCA is holding its second annual Legacy Celebration in order to provide YMCA scholarships for those in our community that are in need.
Tickets are $25.00 per person and 100% of the ticket sales and all donations will benefit the Eldon & Elise Ward Family YMCA. Donations are tax deductable. Tickets can be purchased on-line at http://www.ymcacolumbus.org/legacy or at the following locations; Eldon & Elsie Ward Family YMCA, 130 East Woodland Avenue, YMCA of Central Ohio, 40 West Long Street, or Zanzibar Brews, 750 East Long Street.
