The YMCA of Greater Houston has 36 branches across our metropolitan area, places where people of all ages go to keep their bodies---and minds---active. It is the kind of organization (in this case, 125 years old) that has been around for so long and is so well-known that we tend to take it for granted, as if it is a machine that runs of itself.
Each year the Y's Partners Campaign reminds us that we can never grow complacent. The campaign raised over $5.5 million last year in a effort to make the YMCA available to all. Stonefilms is proud to join the YMCA of Greater Houston in the 2011 Partners Campaign. Liz Chapman wrote and produced a video that will be used to illustrate to potential donors the impact that the Y----and this campaign---make on our community. Interviews for this production were shot in the historic YMCA building in downtown Houston, one month before the structure's scheduled demolition.
A teenager interviewed in the video comments that the people he interacts with at his local Y in Huntsville are not just friends: they are family. It is our hope at Stonefilms that the 2011 Partners Campaign will allow the YMCA of Greater Houston to extend its reach to those who need it most.
