YMCA to Host Kids Now Campaign
The YMCA is just 1 week away from their Annual Kids Now Campaign!!!

The Anaheim Y has raised funds to address the urgent needs of our youth for more than 100 years. A recent state budget bill will limit their ability to collect program fees that have distinguished their award-winning programs. The YMCA is committed to serving our community, but if they do not raise funds, they risk losing some vital services kids participate in every day.

Stay tuned for more information leading up to October 4th. If you would like to see more of what the YMCA does for Anaheim, visit anaheimymca.org.
