“A core mandate of the Peterborough Business Network is supporting organizations that help grow and elevate our Peterborough community,” said Alex Archibald of the PBN. “The YMCA of Central East Ontario is exactly this type of organization and we couldn't be happier to support their Strong Kids campaign as they work to make a positive difference in our community.”

The campaign is an annual fundraising campaign to allow everyone, especially children, youth, and families, access to the YMCA, regardless of their financial situation. Accessibility includes opportunities to participate in programming, membership and day camp opportunities.

“I believe that every child deserves a chance to reach their full potential to live healthier, happier lives today and grow into productive, healthy adults in the future, regardless of their financial situation,” said Dave Morello, Strong Kids chairman. “The efforts of the Peterborough Business Network, to do great community work to ensure this is a reality.”
