The YFor Youth Development For Healthy Living For Social Responsibility

A Big Win for the Kids

Twenty-two kids from the Sulphur Springs YMCA spent a Sunday afternoon cheering in the home stands for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It marked the season’s fifth “Gameday for Kids” hosted by the NFL team and the Glazer Family Foundation. It looks like the Y kids served as good luck charms since the Bucs beat the Kansas City Chiefs 38-10 that day.

During each Buccaneers home game, the Glazer Family Foundation hosts 100 “Gameday for Kids” from nonprofit organizations that promote academic achievement and positive behavior in children. After achieving certain goals set by the Sulphur Springs Y, the kids received game tickets, food vouchers and Buccaneers merchandise.

Literal Walking Miracle

Tina Campbell is known as a literal walking miracle to staff at the Plant City Y. “Before I started at the Y, when I went into stores I was using scooters to move around. I couldn’t walk. I was out of breath. I was using my cane to get around the house,” recalls Tina.

55-year-old Tina is on several medications to treat various disorders including fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease and arthritis. Her doctors also told her she had to lose weight to fix her breathing problems. That’s what brought Tina to the Plant City Y.
