Young man YMCA's 'biggest
supporter' CHRIS CLAY
- Mississauga News
May 27, 2001 - Since
he joined the Mississauga YMCA at the age of 8, the
centre has remained a constant and positive influence
in his life. Even during his years at Philip Pocock
Secondary School, when he ran with the wrong crowd and
found some minor trouble, Tolias knew his circle of
friends at the YMCA would always welcome him back with
open arms.
Tolias, 22, recently decided to return the favour for
all the support the "Y" (as he affectionately
calls it) has provided over the years. That gesture
came in the form of a $2,500 donation to the YMCA Community
Fund that provides financial assistance to people who
have difficulty paying membership fees.
Approximately 25 per cent of Mississauga's 9,000 YMCA
members receive financial aid. Tolias and his family
of eight were once a part of that group.
"My dad and I used to play squash there and then
(one day) he came up to me and told me we wouldn't be
able to go anymore," said Tolias.
His family couldn't afford the fees, which for those
who can afford it amount to several hundred dollars
a month.
Tolias was devastated. However, the YMCA worked out
a payment plan for the family and they were able to
remain members.
This sense of social responsibility is what makes the
YMCA more than just a gym, according to the centre's
community fund specialist, Marcy Robertson.
She has been at the Mississauga location since it opened
14 years ago and takes pride in the loyalty members
show. "I've seen people...start off in (tough)
situations and the YMCA is a good place for them,"
said Robertson.
"It makes people feel welcome and safe. We help
people with financial assistance so they can join and
when they're on their feet, pay the full fees.
"They always say the YMCA was there when they really
needed it. That's why so many members come back as volunteers."
Currently the YMCA has over 300 volunteers.
The Mississauga YMCA is hosting a luncheon this Tuesday
to raise $20,000 to hit this year's community fund goal
of $122,000. Tickets cost $75 and can be purchased by
calling 905-897-6801, ext. 401.
TVO's Studio 2 personality Steve Paikin hosts the event
and the keynote speakers are Ray Patrick, president
of Mary Kay Canada and Derek Hatfield, who sailed single-handedly
around the world. The YMCA also provides many programs
and services to the community in addition to their well-known
fitness programs.
Career counselling, day care, employment resources,
summer camps and drug and alcohol addiction counselling
are offered. Tolias himself took advantage of the career
counselling back in 2000 when deciding between college
and university. Normally the course costs $925, but
with some help from the YMCA, Tolias paid half of the
regular fee and was awarded a year to do so.
Now he owns and operates the successful Tolias Landscaping
& Plowing business, beautifying lawns at 30 homes
and 18 buildings across Mississauga. He owns three landscaping
trucks and said last year his company made over $500,000.
When he donated to the YMCA two months ago, he felt
it settled some debts and said thanks.
"It's a scary thought, where I would be without
the YMCA," said Tolias.
"They had a 100 per cent impact on my life. I told
them when I made my first $1 million I'd turn into their
biggest supporter."
