Thank you. Together, we raised more than $13.5 million.

Because of you, the McGill Capital Campaign passed its goal. Every gift is building a stronger McGill Family YMCA, formerly the Stowe Family YMCA, and a brighter future for families across Gaston County.

This is more than a building. It is a place where kids learn to swim, teens find a place to belong, families make memories and neighbors become friends. Your gift helps make sure everyone has a home at the Y, today and for generations to come.

What we built together

From groundbreaking in September 2024 to opening day, here is what your support created.

More room to grow
15,000 sq. ft. of brand-new space and 37,000 sq. ft. of renovated space.

An outdoor water park
An outdoor pool with expanded lap lanes and zero-entry access, a family splash pad and slide tower, a snack bar, and plenty of lounge space, umbrella tables and shade.

A welcoming new entrance
Improved safety and accessibility, with an expanded lobby and a cozy living room space to gather and connect.

A dedicated family wing
8,000 sq. ft. just for kids and teens to learn, grow and lead, make friends, explore interests and build a brighter future.
