Give Time, Give Money  

For many children, families and adults, the YMCA is the place they turn to for encouragement and support to accomplish their dreams.                                                         

Make a difference in someone's life and invest in the Campaign for Kids. At the Y, Campaign for Kids is the umbrella for all fundraising activities. Pairing the YMCA's resources with community needs allows you to give to programs and services that matter most to you -- causes that are close to your heart.                                           

Your charitable contribution can impact the life of an underserved pre-school child, an idle teenager, a deserving single parent or an isolated senior adult. Whether you give to the annual campaign, to a building campaign or to the endowment fund, you can make an impact.  

Ways to Give

A little goes a long way to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities...

• $100 allows a child to enjoy one week of summer day camp

• $50 provides a one-month membership for an active older adult

• $75 builds a young person's self-esteem by joining a youth sports program

Donors can designate gifts to programs benefiting After School, At-Risk Youth, Day Camp, Health and Wellness, Pre-School or Youth Sports.
