HELP THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN Y MISSION


South Mountain Y mission:
 
Strengthen community through
youth development, healthy living
and social responsibility.
 
In service to this mission, our YMCA makes a simple promise: "No one will be turned away due to their inability to pay full price."  Last year the South Mountain YMCA raised over $180,000 and awarded over $250,000 in direct financial assistance
 to local families.. 
 
How did we use our resources? 
*  907 children participated in one of 14 different Y camps last summer, and 1 in 9 children who attended camp received financial assistance. 
*  Over 250 children a day attend the Y's preschool Early Childhood Learning Center and 1 in every 6 children in the Center receives financial assistance.
The Annual Campaign, which ends March 12th, helps the YMCA keep its promise. Thank you so much to all who have given so far!  We are at 74% of our goal!
Won't you consider supporting our mission? 
Your donation to the 2014 Annual Campaign will ensure the availability of Y programs to all members of the community. When you support the Y, you make a meaningful, enduring impact right in our own neighborhood.

Please check with your HR department to see if your company has a matching program. This linked list from 2013 is only a partial list and is always changing.  Some companies even provide 2:1 and 3:1 matches!  Matching donations help to send even more children to camp!
