FIND YOUR PURPOSE.
FIND YOUR Y.
Making a Difference One Person at a Time.
Many of the Y stories below are made possible through community support. When you give to the Y, 100% of your gift goes to programs and financial assistance for children, families, seniors, and individuals in need; our doors are open to all.
Together, we can support one another in mind, body, and spirit to promote healthy lifestyles, provide life-changing experiences, and thread together to offer an unbreakable foundation of hope and transformation. We hope these stories inspire you to join a meaningful cause and become an underlying force who leaves a lasting mark on another person’s life.
Your Donation Can Impact Others
The power of your help changes lives and makes a huge impact on our immediate community. Part of the Y’s Annual Campaign proceeds helps support and keep our 12-week cancer survivor program, LIVESTRONG, free to our community.
Participants do not have to be a member to receive the benefits and support from their LIVESTRONG Coaches who help empower and reignite hope and inspiration in their cohort’s lives. Please take a few moments to hear Sarah Owings’ powerful success story of survivorship and never giving up. She is a true hero with an incredible story of impact. We love and honor you, Sarah!
