For over 168 years, the YMCA of Central Virginia has been more than just a place to work out - we’re a cornerstone of community support and development. From fostering health and well-being to providing essential programs like Power Scholars Academy, Before & After School care, Youth Sports, LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA for cancer survivors, and so much more.

Our Y serves families and individuals at every stage of life. We know that not everyone fully understands the extent of what we offer, which is why the Week of Giving is a perfect opportunity to discover the life-changing programs that are happening at your Y. Join us in celebrating all that the Y does for our community!

You’re exclusively invited to join us for our first-ever Week of Giving as part of the YMCA of Central Virginia's Annual Campaign! Check out Hilary’s video to learn more about what we have in store for you this November!

Step 3: Earn stamps by attending your registered events - each stamp means free gifts and even cash rewards!

Step 4: Become an Annual Campaign advocate, learn about our community programs, make a difference, and have fun with your peers along the way.

FAQs

What is the Annual Campaign?

As you may know, the YMCA of Central Virginia is a non-profit, therefore our Annual Campaign fuels community programs that give back - like LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA for cancer survivors, Safety Around Water, Before and After School care, Youth Sports, Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson’s, and the Memory Café. Your support makes these life-changing programs possible!

Why should I give my time or money?

By giving your time or making a donation, you’re directly helping us grow our impact, bringing life-changing programs and support to more individuals and families in our community.

How do I donate?

It’s simple! Reach out to your supervisor or use the link provided at Week of Giving events to contribute towards our $10,000 goal.

Thank you for being an incredible part of the Y family and for all you do each day to make the YMCA a place where everyone feels welcome. Let’s make this first Week of Giving unforgettable!

Week of Giving is all about learning what philathropy is, what the YMCA does for our community, and to give you the opportunity to support and get involved!

Grab your Week of Giving Passport and fill it up by attending in-person and virtual events, getting hands-on experience in giving back, and supporting our cause. In addition, each passport "stamp" earns you an opportunity to win some free stuff!
