Our Membership Assistance Program (‘MAP’) is made possible by the generosity of our YMCA Family – Members, Staff, Board Members, volunteers, local businesses and the local community at large. Through our annual Strong Kids Campaign we raise critical funds that enable children, adults and families to enjoy the YMCA and its valuable programs and services, regardless of their financial situation.
In 2010 alone, Strong Kids raised over $130,000; with an average Family Membership rate of just over $50 per month, you can imagine how many lives we can positively impact with that kind of success. We encourage you to contribute to Strong Kids, either through a donation, by lending a hand, or by simply referring someone to us who is willing and able to help make a lasting difference in a neighbor’s life!
