January 30, 2009 at 8:00a.m.

YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown YMCA will have its eighth annual Spin-a-thon on Feb. 7 at 17 N. Champion St.

The event is one of many taking place to raise money for the Y’s annual Partner of Youth Campaign.

The money is used to provide membership and programs for youths, families and disabled individuals who could not otherwise afford the cost of participating in YMCA activities.

The ride will be between 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Participants are welcome to ride as long as they would like, raising $50 in sponsorship for each hour.

Prizes will be awarded at various levels of funds raised.

For information on registering or pledging, or becoming involved in the Partner of Youth campaign, contact Maureen Horvath at (330) 744-8411.
