Explosive growth in the communities we serve has increased sports registrations by 5% to 8% per year for the past several years. This growth puts a strain on all facilities in the area, including BYC and Garnet Valley School District.
Currently we are 100% dependent on GVSD indoor facilities. Team practice time is rationed. Without this gym our growth will be constrained and we will have to begin to cut teams and turn kids away. Sports impacted are basketball, wrestling, volleyball and competitive cheerleading.
| “When I first heard about the gym project, I knew I wanted to get involved. The more time my son, Paul, can spend practicing with his team, his level of play will improve exponentially. Also, by spreading my pledge over several years, it was a manageable commitment." |

In anticipation of this need, BYC has been growing its internal reserves over the past several years through (1) prudent spending of capital fees, and (2) operating our sports programs in the black. If we are able to meet our fundraising goal of $1,000,000 through this capital campaign, we will not have to incur debt or raise our sports fees to support this project.
