Donations/Philanthropy

Fundamental to our mission and vision, philanthropy is a powerful instrument for effecting change while strengthening community bonds.

It is our belief that no one should be denied a Y experience because of suffering financial restrictions.  In an effort to ensure accessibility for all, we call upon the generous support of Y members, staff and other community supporters to help us achieve our goal of inclusiveness by giving to the Y Partners With Youth Fund.  Donations to this fund makes it possible for disadvantaged children and youth to learn and develop skills, make new friends and share exeriences that will last a lifetime.  Families enduring financial hardship are strengthened as they spend quality recreation together and parents are assisted to overcome challenges by learning practical coping strategies.

Your contribution will make a lasting difference in the lives of those it touches and is an investment in a healthier tomorrow.
