VW independent/submitted information

The YMCA of Van Wert County’s staff recently expressed its gratitude to the local community for coming together to support the 2021 annual Ball Drop fundraiser. The money raised will be used for youth sports programming, new equipment, and youth scholarships. 

The YMCA also congratulated local resident Kristen Pollock on winning the 2021 Ball Drop and thanked her for her generosity to the community and her support of the YMCA. Pollock and her family decided to donate the winnings of the Ball Drop back to the YMCA, and that additional money will be used to support additional youth programming.
