Strong Kids Campaign
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience our programs, regardless of financial difficulties their family might be facing. YMCA programs such as child care, camping, swim lessons, youth sports, LINK, and Y Mentors do more than teach skills; they instill confidence, responsibility, and help young people to be strong in spirit, mind and body. These experiences help our local youth grow into healthy, contributing adults.
No person will be denied the benefits of a YMCA membership based on financial limitations: with your help. Through our Annual Strong Kids Campaign, people just like you come together to make their community stronger. Donations to the Strong Kids Campaign allow the Y to provide membership and program assistance to kids and families who might not otherwise be able to afford to pay for our services. Our commitment is making programs and services available to everyone! The YMCA provided $228,000 in direct financial assistance for memberships and programs in 2010 to over 16,750 of our Southeast Minnesota friends and neighbors. We ask that you give generously so that more in our community can share the YMCA experience.
