Strong Kids Campaign

Donate to the Strong Kids Campaign

One of the most crucial roles a YMCA plays is that of a safe place. At the Y, kids can be kids, play is encouraged, and everyone is welcome to take part. Under the guidance of our trained and caring staff and volunteers, children can grow in spirit, mind and body. And, through your help, no child in need is ever turned away from the Y.

YMCA programs such as child care, camping, youth sports, swim lessons, and teen programs do more than just teach skills. We teach youth to grow to become responsible, caring adults. Our coaches and staff are positive role models for children, helping them develop their own leadership capabilities and realize their potential.

Through your donation to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, you will give more kids and families the opportunity to experience the life-changing power of the YMCA. Your support provides the funds to provide this program and membership assistance each year. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the YMCA.

We have many convenient ways for you to give. If you would like to leave a legacy for our children by including the YMCA in your estate plans, click here.
