2010 YMCA Strong Communities Campaign
Your gift IS the difference.
Today more families face barriers to access. Your gift can help break down those barriers. We are responsible for ourselves and for each other. Help us to deliver on our unique promise to provide services to all.

Strong kids. Strong families. Strong communities.
The children, families and older adults accessing YMCA services come from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We provide access to services for all – regardless of background or ability to pay, through scholarships and reduced fees. You grow our capacity to serve, because when we work together we achieve much more than we ever could alone.

We are the YMCA
You can help them be Y.
Thanks in part to your financial support, 105,000 children, families and adults in our community are able to participate in our programs. Last year your friends and neighbors showed they cared by providing more than $3.2 million to help families.
