The Sussex Family YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign Thank You Dinner and Silent Auction will be held at 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21, at the Rehoboth Beach Country Club. This annual event celebrates YMCA volunteers and community collaborators, and thanks area donors who have supported the Strong Kids Campaign.

The featured speaker will be Dennis Forney, publisher of the Cape Gazette. Dennis and his wife Becky recently completed a cross-country bicycle trip. Dennis will share highlights of their journey and talk about the positive benefits of exercise and setting personal goals.

The dinner’s emcee will be WBOC’s Weekend Anchor/Reporter Karen Campbell. Campbell can be seen regularly on TV, and is an energetic Zumba instructor at the Sussex YMCA.

The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign raises more than $100,000 annually for assistance for kids and families who would otherwise be financially unable to participate at the Y. Donors who contribute $125 or more to the campaign are invited to the dinner.
