❤️ Tonight, we were reminded of why we give.
We officially kicked off our 2026 Annual Campaign, and it was so much more than an evening about fundraising.
It was an evening about people.
About the child who gets to experience camp.
The family who receives a helping hand when they need it most.
The teen who finds connection and belonging.
The individual who discovers they are capable of more than they ever imagined.
And the countless people who find a place where they truly belong.
We heard stories tonight that put a face and a heart behind our mission—and reminded us that every dollar given has the power to change a life. ❤️
Our goal is $300,000, but the true impact cannot be measured by a number. It is measured in opportunities, relationships, hope, confidence, and lives changed.
A heartfelt thank you to our Campaign Chair, our Board of Directors, our incredible volunteers, and our dedicated YMCA staff for pouring your time, energy, and hearts into this campaign. This work truly takes all of us. ❤️
And a very special thank you to Council Member Stallings for joining us tonight and for praying over our event and dinner. We are grateful for your support and for helping us begin this campaign with prayer and purpose. 🙏
To everyone who joined us tonight, shared their story, supports our Y, gives generously, volunteers, or simply believes in what we do—thank you. Your belief in this mission makes an incredible difference.
🔥 Tonight, we lit the flame. Now, together, we ignite the impact.
The Y. A Community for a Lifetime. 💙
