Our Giving Tree is Growing!
You can find a gym, swimming pool or treadmill in many different places. But it is our cause that makes the Y so special. The real measure of who we are is reflected in the lives we impact.

Give back to our community by donating to the Y's Annual Campaign , which provides scholarships for those who need the Y most. These scholarships give kids, families and adults the opportunity to pay program and membership fees that align to their household income so that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive at the Y.

For every gift made to the Y, a leaf will be added to our Giving Tree!

If you are interested in supporting the Y's cause, you can make a donation online or drop off a donation at the Membership Desk.
