Why the Y

Annual Campaign Staff Hub

celebrate and show our support of the Y’s Mission and Impact in our community

It’s that time of year again, where we celebrate and show our support of the Y’s Mission and Impact in our community. The YMCA Annual Campaign is a yearly fundraising effort that allows us to fully realize our mission, especially as it relates to the last two words: “for all.” This annual initiative serves as the backbone of our fundraising efforts by securing charitable gifts from the YMCA community to ensure our programs and services remain accessible.

Throughout this phase of the campaign, your department’s Team Captains will be reaching out to discuss your potential gift to the Annual Campaign and to collect your form. While giving is completely voluntary, we do hope you’ll consider making a donation this year. We make it easy through payroll deductions, allowing a few dollars per paycheck to add up to big impact in the lives of the kids, teens, adults, and seniors in our community.

When a person joins the YMCA staff team, their passion and purpose are added to our mission as they help us build a stronger, healthier community. Yet when that same team member gives to the Y, they multiply the mission by exponentially extending their impact throughout everything the Y does.

GOAL #1: RAISE $12,500

For each $2,500 raised in our staff phase, members of our leadership team will proudly take a whip cream pie to the face as fun thank you for donating.

GOAL #2: 100% OF STAFF ASKED

To help make that happen, every staff person who signs and returns their pledge card will be invited to take part in first annual Campaign Madness Staff Olympics on Friday, March 17.

Each department will compete in a variety of fun and silly games to score points and win the coveted Campaign Madness Trophy. One of the biggest events of the day will be based on the percentage of staff pledge forms returned for each department, so don’t forget to return yours regardless of giving status!

multiply the mission

your individual generosity

When a person joins the YMCA staff team, their passion and purpose are added to our mission as they help us build a stronger, healthier community. Yet when that same team member gives to the Y, they multiply the mission by exponentially extending their impact throughout everything the Y does.

Like tossing a stone into water, individual generosity creates a ripple effect throughout the community that allows more people to belong, more healthy lifestyles created, and more young people finding a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive.
