September 25th - Y-CAP BOOM
On Friday, September 25, 2015, Mercedes-Benz of Nashville hosted the 4th annual Mercedes-Benz of Nashville Tennis Classic Team Pairing and Pre-party event which included a silent auction benefiting The YMCA of Middle Tennessee and Williamson County Youth Community Action Project (Y-CAP).

On Saturday September 26, 2015, the Mercedes-Benz of Nashville Tennis Classic was held at the Maryland Farms YMCA in Brentwood. At the tournament, participants got to hear from Ivy, one of Y-CAP's recent participants and about her experience in the program. For 2015, the tournament and silent auction raised $30,569 an increase of $4,342 over 2014!  This event makes a huge impact on the youth in our community and this was clearly evident in Ivy's testimony about the difference YCAP has made in her life.  We, at Mercedes-Benz of Nashville, feel privileged to be able to partner with Y-CAP in this important work.

Y-CAP is an outreach program serving teens ages 12-18 of Williamson County by offering dynamic opportunities to grow in spirit, mind and body. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Our mission is to offer new opportunities for teens through volunteerism, team-building, goal setting, relationship building, artistic exploration and life skills development.

Y-Cap is both a prevention and early intervention based program that centers its curriculum around the concept of the "40 Developmental Assets for Adolescents", a study conducted by the Search Institute identifying a set of skills, experiences and behaviors that enable young people to develop in to successful adults who are prepared to make a positive contribution to society.

On May 14th, we went to Dwight's farm then on May 15th, we went to the Franklin rodeo so Josh could get ready for his trip.  On May 25-30th, Josh and his parents visited the Burnt Well Guest Ranch in New Mexico where he rode horses, roped, enjoyed starlit campfire evenings, and went to a rodeo - giving him the chance to live like a real rodeo cowboy! We are so glad we were able to be a part of Josh's wish and we're happy to have him and his family as part of our Mercedes-Benz of Nashville family.
