SUCCESS STORIES

The YMCA continues to make an impact in lives every day. Feel free to share your Y story with us so that we can let the world know how much the Y has meant to you.

The Y Made One Family's Dream a Reality

“With the scholarship program, my family is becoming better rounded in our daily activities. I have discovered how much my daughter, as opposed to my son, enjoys playing basketball. It has helped them develop individuality and gives them a safe place to go to after school. I will not forget the people who made our DREAM a REALITY! Thank you so much. We really appreciate your generous help.”

YMCA financial assistance for membership and camping is made possible by the Strong Kids Campaign.

The Water is the Greatest Place to be!

"I had two hip replacements and the doctor could not believe how fast I recovered. Coming to the YMCA has helped my recovery, build my confidence, meet new friends and have a whole lot of fun. Remember, you are only 15lbs in the water."

An Older Adult Recovers at the Y and Finds Renewed Life

“The YMCA Silver Sneakers is the program I love. The doctor told me I am a miracle after my lung surgery. I walk three times a day. Without the Y, I could not have recovered as fast, and now I can enjoy every day of my life.”

Each year, the YMCA gives hundreds of older adults a place where they can stay physically and socially active.

Your contribution to the Y is going directly to the families who are struggling, to the single moms and dads, to the lost parents and most importantly, the next generation of upstanding citizens in the United States.
