Y Connect Campaign
(Formally known as Strong Kids)
When there is a need, the YMCA is there.
Help us build a better future.
Connecting the Y with the people who need it most.
We all have a Y story. It might be where you learned to swim or where you spent summers making friends and memories. For others, it’s where confidence was built to start a new career. It’s peace of mind knowing your children are well looked after while you’re at work and a place to become stronger in body, mind, and spirit.
When you donate to the YMCA, you unlock opportunities for community members to create their own Y story. Your gift ensures everyone can access Y programs and services regardless of their age, background, or ability to pay. Your support ensures kids can learn to swim or go to day camps. It means people with chronic health conditions can stay active and healthy. It provides families with the opportunity to spend quality time. Your support connects the YMCA with the people who need it most.
We envision stronger, more hopeful and caring communities that result in:
Strong and connected families
Resilient children who thrive and lead healthy, long lives
Teens who are confident with a strong sense of belonging
Motivated adults that take charge of their health and get active
Healthy, engaged seniors
Happy people who are excited about life
