YMCA Strong Kids Campaign

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience YMCA programs, regardless of financial difficulties their family might be facing. YMCA programs such as child care, camping, swim lessons, youth sports and teen leadership programs do more than teach skills; they instill confidence, responsibility, and help young people to be strong in spirit, mind and body. These experiences have a strong impact on kids, helping them grow into healthy, contributing adults.

With your help, no person will be denied the benefits of a YMCA membership based on financial limitations. Through the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, people just like you come together to make their community stronger. Donations to the Strong Kids Campaign allow the YMCA to provide membership and program assistance to kids and families who might not otherwise be able to afford to pay for YMCA services.

With a commitment to making programs and services available to everyone, the YMCA provided nearly $1,200,000 in scholarships and program subsidies in 2010 to over 10,000 of our Fox Cities friends and neighbors. We ask that you give generously so that more in our community can share the YMCA experience.
