The YMCA has been a huge part of my life since I was little. I started in their daycare as a baby, spent years in their aftercare program, and learned how to swim and play tennis at the Y. I’ve been to camps, played sports, and joined all kinds of events over the years. Now, as part of the Teen Leaders program, I get to give back to the place that has meant so much to me.
Our South Mountain YMCA is an amazing place for kids and families in our community. It’s more than just a gym or a place to take classes—it’s a place where kids can grow, make friends, and feel like they belong. I’ve had so many great experiences here, and I want to help make sure other kids get the same opportunities.
The YMCA raises money to help families who might be going through tough times so their kids can still be part of Y programs. No matter what’s going on in their lives, they have a safe place to play, learn, and have fun. This year, as we celebrate the 55th birthday of the South Mountain YMCA, we’re working to make sure this legacy continues for future generations.
I’d love for you to be a part of this! Every donation helps give more kids access to everything the Y has to offer. Even a small contribution can make a big difference.
Thank you!
