The Y Day of Giving is a special 24-hour fundraising event. We invite members and non-members across the region to come together and celebrate the incredible work happening at the YMCA. By donating to the Y, you ensure that our neighbors have access to the programs and resources they need to thrive—regardless of income or background.
During this day of celebration, we will showcase the Y's impact, wide breadth of programs, and it's foundation in our community. This includes three of our major initiatives:
The YMCA provides a nurturing environment where children can achieve their full potential. From keeping kids safe before and after school, to providing camp and child care options for working families, we ensure kids have the support they need. Your gift today can provide more families access our essential youth development programs, giving more children a chance to shine.
