ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

The Annual Campaign is a fundraising initiative that makes the Y available to people who cannot afford the cost of the program and membership fees. By removing financial barriers, we are fulfilling our mission to make the Y available to all.

100% of Annual Campaign contributions go back into the community.  The campaign makes it possible for children, families, and seniors to benefit from Y programs and memberships, regardless of their financial circumstances.

“The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime.”    – Joan Marques

FROM A RECIPIENT:

“Both of my kids have been through the Early Learning Center. My daughter graduated 2 years ago and my son will graduate this year. The financial assistance campaign has given me such a relief that I can go to work and know that I am affording great child care for my family.  Having the option of coming to the Y whether it be for classes, to work out, or for the ELC is so beneficial for the community to have. The importance of giving, whether it be $5, $10, or whatever you can afford, is knowing that there is a family out there that is so grateful and able to thrive with that scholarship.”

In 2024…

$550,435 were invested into the community through needs-based financial assistance.

1,823 children, adults, and seniors received financial assistance through the charitable donations of community donors.
