Hilton Columbus Downtown – Aminah Robinson B/C

This year, in partnership with ­­­the YMCA of Central Ohio – a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening the community through nurturing children of all ages, improving the collective health and well-being, and helping the most vulnerable neighbors, attendees will gather to create household necessity kits for those families at imminent risk and STEM kits to provide thousands of children in Central Ohio with opportunities to access Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education during after school programs. The goal of these STEM kits is to foster academic success and break the cycle of poverty.

Coffee and a light breakfast will be available starting at 8:30 am.

Join your PCMA colleagues in providing a helping hand for Columbus’ communities in need, all while enjoying the comradery for which PCMA is known. Space is limited, so make sure to secure your spot today!

The YMCA is proud to be an open and inclusive organization, leveraging their collective impact to address social inequities and spark change for their communities.
