Join us for the Strides for the Y Event!

Step up and make a difference at our inaugural Strides for the Y event! This exciting walk/run event brings together local heroes—like firefighters, police officers, and community leaders—teaming up to support the YMCA's Annual Campaign. Every stride taken helps provide essential programs and services that uplift individuals and families in our community. Join the fun, cheer on your favorite celebrity participants, or donate to create a lasting impact. Together, we can make every step count for a stronger, healthier community!

Why Strides for the Y?

Strides for the Y supports the heart of the YMCA: programs that strengthen our community and ensure everyone has access to the support they need to thrive. Every dollar raised helps fund mission-driven programs, including:

Basket Brigade – Providing Thanksgiving meals to families facing food insecurity
Running Start – Supplying local youth with backpacks and essential school supplies
Chronic Disease Prevention – Programs that promote healthier lives and long-term wellness
Summer Camp Scholarships – Ensuring children can experience safe, enriching summers regardless of financial barriers
Safety Around Water – Teaching lifesaving swim skills to children and families
Membership for All – Making YMCA access possible for individuals and families in need

Your support helps turn these programs into real impact. For real people. Right here in our community. Thank you for being part of the Y’s mission.
