Summer Grams
A Summer Themed Treat That Helps Others Thrive!
Surprise your child with a fun summer goodie bag while helping make a meaningful difference for children and families in our community.
With a $5 donation, your child will receive one Summer Fun Gram during the week of June 1. Each gift supports the YMCA of the Jersey Shore’s Annual Campaign and helps ensure more children have access to safe, supportive programs where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
How It Works: - For every $5 donation, your child will receive one Summer Fun Candy Gram. (For example $10 donation = 2 candy grams)
- PURCHASE DATES: May 18–29, 2026
- DELIVERY DATE: Week of June 1, 2026
- DONATION PRICE: $5 per Summer Fun Candy Gram
Each Candy Gram purchased helps the Y continue to be a place where:
- Children feel supported and inspired
- Families find connection and belonging
- Our community grows stronger together
Please include your name with your donation so your child receives their gram.
