Annual Campaign

Thank you to our donors, major sponsors, supporters and staff for helping us meet and exceed our fundraising goal for the year! With your help, we were able to raise $614,000, which is a new record for our Annual Campaign.

More important than the dollars raised is the impact that these funds will have on our community by providing food, supporting our children in academics, sending high need children to camp, giving families access to child care, and offering membership and program opportunities to anyone regardless of financial situation.

Thank you again for helping us continue to be Here For All.

In one way or another, we are all connected to the Y. Maybe it’s where you learned to swim, or how to play basketball, maybe you met your best friend at camp and now your kids play together. The Y is a vital part of the Merrimack Valley; a welcoming, safe place to learn new skills, connect with others and get support.

As a nonprofit organization, we never turn away someone who needs a membership, campership or a Y program. With your support, we are able to provide scholarships and financial assistance so we can continue to be here for all.  Contributions also support a number of programs that we deliver to the community at little or no cost including Teen Achievers, Music Clubhouse LIVESTRONG, Leaders Club, Youth and Government and many more.

Whether it’s providing 350 children a safe and nurturing classroom to learn and thrive, supporting over 500 kids in our teen programs or teaching 8000 children water safety in swim lessons at the YMCA, we provide high quality programs and services to our community. With your support we can continue to make these and many other programs accessible to those in need.
