Thank you for your support on Giving Tuesday!

Our community came together to celebrate generosity and make an impact this past Giving Tuesday. Together with our matching donor, we raised $37,000!  

With the support from donors like you on Giving Tuesday, the Y is making a difference in the lives of countless community members, building vibrant, connected communities and empowering people to let their full potential shine. We'd like to extend a special thank you to our matching donor, the Buckley MacDonald Youth Fund, for helping to double the impact of donations received in support of our YMCA.  

On behalf of our entire organization, and those we serve, THANK YOU for your generous support.
