Fundamental to our mission is the idea and practice of ensuring belonging for all. That's what The Y Campaign For a Better Us is all about -- raising funds so that Y programs and services can remain accessible to those who can’t otherwise afford them. The end result strengthens our whole community.

On behalf of the Y and the thousands of children and families who benefit from your support, thank you! Here are a few words of gratitude from real Y scholarship recipients.

"I am so thankful for my Y membership. My family was given a scholarship and I cannot even state the impact it has had. The Y is a safe place for my children. The people are friendly and make me feel like I belong."

"I’m so grateful to the Y. My son comes home happy every day and he is learning so much! I can’t thank you enough."

"For me, being retired, it’s nice to be able to get out of the house and meet people."

"My daughter was able to go to camp at a discounted rate. She said it was her best summer ever. Now she will be able to start swim lessons."

"Great teachers and it's a safe atmosphere. My daughter loves it here and is learning fundamental educational and social skills."
