We Did It! All In, Together Spring Giving Campaign
Thank You for Helping Us Reach Our $30,000 All In, Together Spring Giving Campaign Goal
Thank you to everyone who donated, dribbled, danced, and dinked to benefit our All In, Together Spring Giving Campaign. Thanks to your generosity, we exceed our goal and raised $32,828! These funds will now allow 238 families to access the resources they need, without having to worry about the cost.
We are grateful to everyone who participated in the Spring Giving Campaign Events: Coach Rico's Community Basketball Clinic, Dance for a Cause, and our after-hours Pickleball Social. By attending these events and donating online and in person, you helped advance healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility throughout our community.
All In, Together
The All In, Together Spring Giving Campaign was a dedicated period at the West Suburban YMCA focused on supporting our mission: strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility for all. Our goal was to raise $30,000 in ten days, and with your help, we did just that.
Every donation made a difference. Your support helps families access affordable childcare, providing scholarships for youth enrichment activities, welcoming members of all financial backgrounds, supporting cancer survivors through our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, and so much more.
The Y is special because social responsibility is at the core of our mission. Tax-deductible charitable donations stay local, ensuring that we can offer financial assistance and innovative programs that make our community accessible to all.
Recapping the Fun at Our Campaign Events
Coach Rico's Community Clinic at the Church St Y on March 19 kept the kids active while giving back. More than 30 youth ages 8-16 participated as Coach Rico led them through basketball fundamentals including dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. These important sills help build confidence on the court. The night ended with a fun scrimmage and pizza for all participants! View event post, here.
Dance for a Cause was a high energy mega group class that benefited Livestrong at the YMCA. Over 40 dancers moved, grooved, and made a difference during a fun glow-party themed spring break celebration. From themed costumes to energetic routines and uplifting camaraderie, the event was a powerful reminder of how movement strengthens our bodies and our community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, donated, danced, or helped spread the word. Together, we made an impact far beyond the dance floor. View the Facebook Album, here.
Our After-Hours Pickleball Social at Wells Ave Y brought “picklers” together in support of the Y's Annual Fund. The evening was full of lively games, a potluck, raffles, prizes, and pals. Supporting your community is as fun and rewarding as a game of pickleball! View pictures, here.
