Together, We Grew for Good: Y Day of Giving Raises Over $18,000 for Vital Community Programs 

🌱 We truly felt the love during this year’s Y Day of Giving — the energy, generosity, and community spirit were alive at both our Church Street and Wells Ave locations! Thanks to 212 incredible donors, we raised an inspiring $18,886 in support of programs that make a real difference in people’s lives. 

Our goal was to raise $10,000 at each branch, and we came so close — a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together for good. 

From heartwarming child-created art auction bids, to pickleball tournament games, to dancing for a cause, every moment added up to something much bigger: supporting two of our most impactful programs. 
✨ Childcare Financial Aid, ensuring access to high-quality preschool and Out-of-School Time programs for families who need it most. 
✨ LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a free 12-week program that empowers cancer survivors to rebuild strength, confidence, and community. 

Still Want to Help? There’s Still Time. 

Donate

We’re just shy of our full goal, and your gift could close the gap: 
💛 $807 still needed for Childcare at Church Street 
💙 $307 still needed for LIVESTRONG at Wells Ave 

Every donation, no matter the size, helps ensure that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need to thrive. 

To everyone who showed up, gave, danced, played, and cheered us on- thank you. You are the reason we can continue to grow a stronger, more inclusive Y community.
