Improve the YMCA. Expand Access. Impact People.

The Hodding Carter Memorial YMCA is more than a place to work out. It is a place where children grow, families connect, people pursue healthier lives, and our community comes together. Every day, the YMCA opens its doors to people of all ages and backgrounds.

We are excited to launch our “Invest In Your YMCA” annual campaign, with an overall fundraising goal of $65,000. This campaign is focused on making meaningful improvements to the YMCA while helping ensure that more people have the opportunity to be part of it.

Funds raised through this campaign will support four important priorities:

IMPROVE OUR SPACES	Refinish the gymnasium and aerobics floors to provide safer, more attractive and more enjoyable spaces for basketball, pickleball, fitness classes, youth programs and community activities.
EXPAND OUR FACILITY	Update gymnasium lighting to improve visibility and create a brighter, more welcoming environment for everyone who uses our facility.
INVEST IN FITNESS	Purchase new weight room equipment to replace aging equipment and provide members and guests with a modern, well-equipped fitness environment.
PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY	Provide membership scholarships so that financial circumstances do not prevent individuals and families from being part of the YMCA.

Each of these priorities has one common purpose: to enhance the YMCA experience for our members and guests while making sure the YMCA remains a place where everyone is welcome.

We are asking our members, families, businesses, friends and community partners to join us in reaching our $65,000 goal. A gift of any size can make a difference.

When you invest in the YMCA, you are investing in people.

With gratitude,
