Description

In 2015,  the Visser Family YMCA Buck Creek Run will be celebrating it’s 42nd year! As a cornerstone of The City of Grandville’s Fourth of July Celebration, the Buck Creek Run starts and finishes at the Grandville Middle School.

Course Info
The Visser Family Buck Creek Run starts and finishes at the Grandville Middle School.    The course winds through the neighborhoods surrounding Grandville Middle School and Wedgewood Park; with a taste of the Buck Creek Trail while approaching the finish line in the Grandville Middle School football stadium.
Other Info
The Visser Family Buck Creek Run supports the Visser Family YMCA‘s Impact Afterschool Program which provides a place for kids to come after school. Each scholarship for the Impact Program costs $325.  Buck Creek Run proceeds stay right here to help kids in the Grandville, Jenison and Hudsonville communities. 

Impact Afterschool Program

The Impact Afterschool Program is an exciting and unique partnership between the YMCA, local school districts (Grandville, Jenison and Hudsonville Public School systems), and corporate and foundation donors, which currently provides after school support to 75 children who have been identified by school officials in each of the school districts. 

Every day students come to a safe and engaging environment at the Y and have access to:
– academic support (tutoring and homework assistance)
– a mentoring program delivered by local professional leaders and volunteer
– health and fitness activities (swimming, gym games, sports leagues)
– volunteer opportunities and other enrichment activities 

Children are referred to the Y by a teacher, social worker, principal or other school official and are
automatically enrolled in the nine-month program and are not charged to participate.  Free busing is provided through the school districts in all but one case.  The program is designed for children ages 10 and above
