Strong Kids

Membership and program fees at the YMCA do not cover all the costs to support our vital community programs. To ensure that no one is denied a chance to participate because of inability to pay, we truly need your help.

Through these fundraising events listed below, the YMCA provides program support and financial assistance to families who need it in our community. Only by working together can we give more kids the opportunity to grow strong in spirit, mind and body.

MM Lep 2012 web Marsh Madness – Saturday, March 17, 2012

The St. Patty´s Day Marsh Madness is a polar bear plunge into Blue Marsh in the cold of winter. This is a sponsorship- based activity requiring each participant to raise at least $25 to plunge. Marsh Madness raises money for our financial assistance program, which allows everyone to participate in our programs regardless of their ability to pay. Participation can be adults or youth and sign-up can be as an individual or as a team.
