Give every child, family, and senior access to life-changing programs at the Y.

MAKE IT HAPPEN for Stowe

Help us crush our $120,000 goal and keep the Y’s life-changing programs accessible to all!

What Is It?

Make It Happen for Stowe is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a spirited team challenge where every dollar raised helps provide life-changing YMCA programs:

  • Safety Around Water - Teaching kids life-saving water safety skills
  • Afterschool & Summer Camp - Providing a safe, enriching space to learn and grow
  • LIVESTRONG® at the Y - Supporting cancer warriors on their wellness journey

How It Works

Each team sets a fundraising goal, and team members work toward their own individual targets. Together, we MAKE IT HAPPEN! Every dollar raised helps families access these vital YMCA programs, regardless of their financial situation.

⭐️New this year:

Donors are automatically entered into our 1st Annual Give Big, Win, Big Donor Drawing! The more you give, the better the prizes—so whether you're fundraising with a team or making a donation, your generosity makes a difference.
