Pool Pals: Sponsor a Child this Summer

This is the 9th year for the Pool Pals Program sponsored by the Bates County Youth Advocacy Council. This program provides season pool passes to children who either cannot afford to swim or they have special needs or considerations.

According to Jeremy Platt, President of the BCYAC, INC., “Last year we were able to buy season passes for 76 children. This program is successful due to the generosity of businesses, organizations and the people of Bates County.”

Bates County Youth Advocacy Council gathers donations for the pool passes and then provides them to the children in the community. A list of children is compiled and the council works its way down the list as the money comes in. Various groups give the council the names of these children.

BCYAC takes any donation amount, whether you want to donate $5 or sponsor an entire family. Any donation would be appreciated. If you would like to make a donation to the Pool Pal Program mail it to:
B.C.Y.A.C.
PO Box 466
Butler, MO 64730

Thank you for supporting the youth of our area.
