Annual Fund
The YMCA of Greater Boston kicks off its Member Donor Week on Monday March 15th. This fun week is designed to educate our members about the charitable mission of the YMCA and to encourage financial support of the Reach Out Campaign. Each of our YMCA's is using a different theme: GROOVY, CAMPY, LUCKY, CELEBRITY, GENEROSITY just to name a few. Please check out your YMCA's page on this website for a specific schedule of activities. Thank you for your help and generous support!
Your philanthropic donation to the YMCA of Greater Boston Reach Out Annual Fund ensures that the YMCA is there for those who need us most. In 2009 the YMCA distributed more than $2 million in financial assistance to children and families in need, ensuring no one is denied access to our programs and services due to an inability to pay full fees. Your gift to Reach Out makes that assistance possible. Learn more about Reach Out by viewing our brochure here.
Imagine what your gift will do:
- $100 teaches a child life saving swimming skills through a series of lessons.
- $250 enrolls a child in a YMCA youth fitness program which will reduce the risk of childhood obesity and diabetes (already affecting 20% of today's youth.)
- $500 provides 60 hours of intensive English as a Second Language instruction for a new American before s/he begins a job training program.
- $750 enrolls two high school students in our College Path program, which provides SAT preparation and college application assistance.
- $1,000 gives 10 at-risk teens a one year membership to the YMCA, providing them with a safe place to productively spend their out-of-school hours.
- $2,500 sponsors two campers for a two week session at the YMCA's resident camps in New Hampshire.
- $5,000 supports two working families with one month of quality child care.
