WHAT'S NEW AT THE YMCA

MAKE AN IMPACT!

Donations to the Strong Kids Campaign allow us to provide memberships and programs to children and families who cannot afford YMCA services.

  • You can invest in a child who is just learning to swim, shoot basketball, or make new friends in YMCA youth programs.
  • You can give a teen the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills and build relationships through programs based on character development.
  • You can provide struggling families with safe, family-oriented YMCA activities, where people of all ages can relax, play, connect.
  • You can share the YMCA with others in the community who can benefit from programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body.

By contributing to the annual YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, you are making a difference in the life of a child today – and in our communities for tomorrow.
