WE BUILD LIFELONG SUCCESS

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED WITH HELP FROM OUR COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN

The YMCA’s Community Campaign provides financial assistance to ensure that all members of our community can take part in our life-changing programs and services regardless of their ability to pay. By supporting the Community Campaign, you can:

• Help children living in underserved communities by providing a safe-haven where they can enjoy being a kid and develop into the young adults of tomorrow;

• Offer a support system for children, adults, and seniors to nurture their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development through programming and experiences; and

• Improve the physical and spiritual quality of life for cancer survivors through the LIVESTRONG® at the Y program.

In 2019, the branches of the YMCA of Greater Hartford provided $2.35 million in program Financial Assistance so that individuals could achieve lifelong success through summer camp, child care, swim lessons, and LiveSTRONG. Help us today by visiting GHYMCA.org/donate.
