Hi friends! I want to take a quick minute to tell you about a cause that I am really passionate about. Everett is a wonderful, tight-knit community, but it is also a community in crisis. I love coming to the Y not only to see my friends, community, and get a good workout, but also because I am reminded daily of the good work they do in the community and that there is hope. Did you know that for only $17, a teen in need can access the Y for an ENTIRE year, without having to show proof of income or deal with paperwork, just by showing they want to be there. A large percentage of students in our school systems are on free or reduced lunch. Walking around town, to and from school, students witness daily the poverty and circumstances that result from the opioid and gang crisis.

This benefit provided by the Y allows them to come in and see examples of what healthy living looks like, as well as opportunities to be a part of something bigger in their community with positive role models. For only $102, you can provide 6 teens with a safe place to be while parents are working or not at home, for an entire year. Join me in contributing to this cause that does many things.


 

The Annual campaign is about people

The YMCA is a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, age, religion or financial standing. The Annual Campaign raises funds for families and individuals who can’t otherwise fully afford YMCA programs and services. It focuses on providing children and teens with safe outlets, positive role models and opportunities to achieve their full potential.

It provides resources to support those in need

Campaign contributions are invested in people. 100% of the money raised goes directly to programs and services for children, teens, adults and families. It does not pay general branch overhead or campaign expenses.

The Annual Campaign provides life-changing experiences and makes our whole community stronger through YMCA mentoring, wellness, swimming, chronic disease prevention, child care and many other vital programs and services, assuring that no one is turned away due to lack of funds.

It’s an opportunity to help others and give back to our community

Volunteering allows individuals to give back and learn something about themselves in the process. The Y is a nonprofit like no other, dedicated to helping children and families live healthier, more productive lives in spirit, mind and body.

Our YMCA needs volunteers like you to make the Annual Campaign possible. This is us.

Annual Campaign volunteers are passionate about the YMCA and the good we do in communities. They visit YMCA programs and learn how we make an impact every day. They meet with donors face to face and discover what motivates each donor to give. They thank donors and attend Annual Campaign events, such as kick offs and victories. 

Get involved today!
