11,469 people served. 392 kids in youth sports. 326 students supported through After School Care.

One year. A whole lot of impact. 💙

Kids learning. Families connecting. People getting stronger. Neighbors finding their people.

This is YOUR Y IN ACTION. 💪

Behind every number is a person, a family, or a story - and the Annual Campaign helps make more of those stories across our association possible.

Each year, donations to the Annual Campaign help remove financial barriers for individuals and families in our communities. Every dollar raised stays within our YMCA communities and helps provide access to programs, child care, and membership for those who may need a little extra support.

The Annual Campaign allows more kids to join a team, more families to access dependable care, and more people to experience the connection and support found at the Y. It’s our community investing directly in the people who call it home.
That’s the WHY behind the Y.

Just a little throwback to the “best day ever.” ☀️💦

Everyone had fun racing down the water slide, cooling off with sno-cones, and taking on a full-on water balloon fight!

Lots of laughs, good friends, and memories made along the way. 💙

Safe to say, summer camp did not disappoint. 😎
