What does this series support?

It supports the families who rely on the YMCA for child care, swim lessons, after-school programs, summer camp pathways, youth leadership, and wellness services that keep our community strong.

Why does it matter?

Many families face financial barriers that limit access to these essential programs. When access is limited, children lose opportunities to learn and grow, working parents lose stability, and the community loses vital support.

How does your participation help?

100% of the proceeds from this series are donated directly back into the community to remove those barriers. Every registration expands financial assistance, strengthens youth development, and ensures that every family has the chance to benefit from the programs they need.
