Giving

No one is turned away because of an inability to pay.

That’s our promise to the community, and our annual Strong Kids fundraising campaign makes it possible. Please consider giving generously to help us reach our 2012 goal of $740,000.

Your dollars create big change
While a variety of fundraisers help us subsidize costs, Strong Kids has the greatest impact on the largest number of individuals. Last year, we gave 31,600 people direct financial assistance. Thanks to generous donors who support Strong Kids, we’re able to provide cutting-edge recreational, educational and fitness opportunities to those who might not otherwise have access. We award financial assistance based on annual income and household size. Read our 2012 annual report to learn more.

$2,500 allows three at-risk kids to attend summer camp. They stay active and learn healthy habits.

$1,000 helps a working family enroll their child in the Y's state-licensed preschool for a year.

$500 allows a single mom to join the Y for a year and spend valuable time with her kids.

$250 teaches five children lifelong swim skills. They learn water safety while gaining confidence. 

$100 provides one week of after-school care for a young girl who deserves to reach her potential.

Investing in your community’s future
Providing youth with a nurturing environment benefits everyone. By introducing kids to experiences that help them grow into successful adults, we make Southern Nevada a better place to live. For all of us.

Priceless rewards
When you think of the Y, do images of pools, basketball courts and colorful classrooms filled with after-school activities come to mind? There’s more than meets the eye. We teach character values and expose children to rewarding activities. You simply can’t put a price on strengthening a child’s character.

On behalf of the countless youth and families who will be touched by your generosity, thank you.
