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 2010 goal of $615,000.

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—about 8,000 each year. 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.
$75 helps a child improve academic performance while participating in YMCA after-school programs.
$250 lets five children build confidence while learning to swim.
$500 provides a family membership to an unemployed parent who believes in healthy living.
$1,000 enables two teams to build skills and values through YMCA youth sports.
$2,500 enrolls three at-risk youth in summer camps that provide positive activities and promote wellness.
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.
Are you ready to help us build strong kids, strong families and strong communities? Make your tax-deductible gift today.
Priceless rewards
When you think of the YMCA, 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.
