Even a small action can have an immediate impact on someone else’s life.
- A single dad struggling to provide for his kids can have an hour at the Y to improve his health and mental well-being, while his children enjoy a safe, supportive place to play.
- A concerned grandparent can breathe easier knowing that her grandchild is learning to swim, reducing the risk of the tragedy of drowning in her family.
- Working parents concerned about the risky hours after the school bell rings can focus on their jobs with confidence, knowing their children are cared for in a quality Y afterschool program.
- A widowed senior determined to remain independent can stay physically active and socially connected through classes and programs with her peers.
- A young adult who needs a positive environment and escape from a rough neighborhood can enjoy a hangout filled with strong adult role models and opportunities to grow.
All of this can happen because of you.
When you support the Y, your gift helps others reach their potential. In a complicated, busy world, it only takes minutes to make a difference.
