Nancy Tienvieri, with grandchildren Josh Tienvieri, 7, and Hannah Tienvieri, 10, teaches Bible study at the branch in Temperance and was concerned about the rebranding effort.
Nancy Tienvieri has been a longtime supporter of the YMCA of Greater Toledo, helping to raise funds for the organization and teaching a Bible study at its Bedford branch.
But when she heard the news this month about a rebranding effort by national headquarters, she was almost ready to abandon camp.
"I heard they were eliminating the 'MCA' and just leaving it 'Y,'" Mrs. Tienvieri said. "I couldn't believe it. I quickly e-mailed [President and CEO] Todd Tibbits and told him that if it were true, he could cancel my membership. It would not be something I would be a part of. I can join a health club anywhere."

The rebranding allows us to tell our story more consistently and inspirationally and will help us communicate the unique capacity for us to foster lasting personal and social change. We will continue to bring relevant services to more people in the key areas of: Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. The Y's mission and cause are more vital than ever. This is a historic moment for the Y.

YMCA/JCC CAMPAIGN SURPASSES GOAL - $2,108,004 RAISED! Contributions Help More Than 73,000 People Over the past five weeks, more than 900 volunteers joined the race to raise money to provide membership and program assistance for area youth and families. In 2010, the YMCA/JCC will provide more than 73,000 people with membership and program assistance, camperships, child care scholarships and spiritual development programs - ensuring everyone an opportunity to benefit from YMCA and JCC programs, regardless of their ability to pay.
Thirteen branches participated in the campaign, each had its own goal and raised money to provide scholarship assistance for families in its neighborhoods. One hundred percent of the funds raised support local youth, families and adults. Contributions are not used to pay salaries or other expenses. The campaign also supports community-wide efforts, like YMCA/JCC Splash, a free program that teaches 3,500 young people each year water safety and basic swimming skills.
