YOUR MAKING REAL IMPACT
In 2024 alone, donations made it possible to:
- Teach 368 children life-saving water safety skills
- Support 68 cancer survivors through LiveStrong at the YMCA
- Give 72 kids a safe place in Afterschool care
- Provide 116 children with an unforgettable summer camp experience
- Serve 180 meals to children facing food insecurity
- Enroll 60 kids in confidence-boosting Youth Sports
- Ensure seniors have a welcoming place to stay active and connected
Without these donations, more children would go hungry, more families would struggle, and more lives would be at risk. Your gift makes all the difference.
