The YMCA's Annual Campaign allows children, families and adults to participate in the YMCA programs that you and your family love – regardless of their ability to pay. 100% of the dollars raised during each year's Annual Campaign is invested back into our community.
A campaign to change lives
You can continue to make a difference in your community by donating to the Annual Campaign with your Crew. What better way to teach your child the power of giving back? Participate in this community-wide effort to raise funds for children, teens and adults that need our Y the most. Y Guides' 2023 goal is to raise $135,000 during the Annual Campaign season.
Crew Pledge: Consider making a pledge as a crew. Our directors and Board volunteers will be out at Fall Outing to assist with making your pledge and filling out your pledge card.
Individuals: If you would like to give as an individual, not a Crew, visit our main donation website. Be sure to select Y Guides from the drop-down menu.
Case for giving
Your funds can impact more than just the Y Guides program. Learn more about our case for giving here. Our work is focused in the following four areas:
- Improving Health Outcomes
- Supporting Education
- Developing Changemakers
- Strengthening Families
Together, we are a part of a strong community.
Your Crew will have an opportunity during Fall Outing at Camp Kanata to complete your pledge and pick up your Annual Campaign patches. After making your pledge at Fall Outing, your Crew will be billed in February for their pledge and the gifted amount will be due by the end of the Y Guides calendar year in May.
Crews that pledge $500 or more will also receive the Golden Feather Society patch.
Prize Lottery
To add a little Y Guides spirit into the campaign, we have a prize lottery. Any Crew that donates will be entered into a prize drawing that includes:
- Specialized Patches for you and your Crew
- Y Guides Swag for your Crew
