YMCA receives major sponsorship in support of Beyond the Bell program
PRINCE GEORGE – Monday morning, the announcement came as a revealing to a major sponsorship with Enbridge in support of YMCA’s Beyond the Bell program.
With the announcement, Enbridge, one of Northern America’s leading energy infrastructure companies, has committed to providing the program with $85,000 over the course of three years; a major contribution to a program that had their current funding end back in June.
“It’s basically everything you’d want your child to have after the school bell rings,” explained Amanda Alexander, CEO at YMCA of Northern BC. “It’s about academic support, some nutritional supplement, and recreation, the ability to connect also with peers. The children in this program have increased their grade level by over a year each time they attend the program, so it has amazing outcomes for these children in the long-term.”
