At our YMCA, we have a fundraising program called the Annual Giving Campaign.  This Annual Giving Campaign raises funds to for capital projects, warm water pool programs, and for financial assistance for our YMCA programs.  Each year the YMCA help families participate in YMCA programs even if they cannot afford the fees which includes programs like Swim Lessons, Swim team, and Summer Camp.   Each year by raising money through our “Swim for a Cause” event, we are able to help our own swim team families by providing scholarships that might not have been available before.
