Through the YMCA Annual Giving Campaign, your gift helps us provide support for children with special needs and financial assistance to families who need it in our community. Only by working together can we give more kids and families the opportunities to grow strong in spirit, mind, and body. At the YMCA, one of our most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of kids in our community. Giving kids a safe and nurturing place to go benefits everyone. By introducing them to experiences that will help them grow into responsible, successful adults, we make the community we love a better place to live. One child at a time. One family at a time. YMCA programs teach young people important values such as caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect. Through a variety of fun and rewarding activities, they also develop valuable skills while they gain confidence and self-esteem. You simply can't put a price on strengthening and enriching the character of the community.
