This holiday season, you’re invited to celebrate the 12 Days of Giving with the Y! Please consider donating to or getting involved in any of the 12 causes below.
Day 1 | Find Your Confidence
Each year the Y teaches children and adults to swim. This helps them find their confidence, teaches a lifelong skill and introduces them to lifelong fun. The cost of swimming lessons should never be a barrier to learning this essential skill. Donate today to ensure everyone in the Y can have fun and be safe around the water.
Day 2 | Find Your Adventure
Summer is a time for kids to explore new things and expand the limits of their imagination. At the Y, every day is a new adventure! Whether experiencing the wonder of overnight camp or having a blast with new friends at summer day camp, children and teens found their adventure with the Y this year. Help make camp accessible for all by donating to our scholarship fund.
Day 3 | Find Your Connection
At the Y, there are no strangers – only friends you haven’t met yet! This year, the Y served active older adults in our community through classes and programs focused on improving health and mobility. We also offered social activities to help seniors find their connection with meaningful friendships. Help us continue to strengthen the social fabric of our community by donating to our senior programs.
Day 4 | Find Your Activity
To be our best selves, we need to take care of our whole selves. At the Y we have group exercise classes to help members find balance and strength in spirit, mind and body. Give others the opportunity to find their activity and help jumpstart their journey to health by donating.
Day 5 | Find Your Passion
Youth sports are just the start of something bigger– besides teaching healthy living principles, they also teach the value of teamwork, help fuel determination and build character. At the Y, we have multiple sports programs to help keep children active while igniting their passion for something greater. Help give every child the opportunity to experience youth sports by donating.
Day 6 | Find Your Purpose
Whenever a neighbor needs support, the Y is ready to help with open arms and caring hearts. Help us continue to make an impact on hunger in the community and find your purpose by donating to our food program.
Day 7 | Find Your Friends
The Y is more than just a place to work out. With opportunities to connect with neighbors and join the fabric of the community, members can discover a greater sense of purpose and find their friends. This year, the Y provided membership scholarships to ensure all members of our community have access to our classes and programs. Help us continue to serve our neighbors and friends by donating to the Y.
Day 8 | Find Your Curiosity
Our childcare and afterschool programming always includes activities that help inspire wonder about the world around us. Guiding children to find their curiosity is key to helping them reach their full potential – donate today to help keep this programming accessible for all.
Day 9 | Find Your Strength
At the Y, we strive to create a supportive community that inspires participants to find their inner strength, while focusing on their overall health in spirit, mind and body.
Day 10 | Find Your Voice
We believe young people have the power to change the world. Our teen and young adult programs are designed to help young people develop the skills and confidence they need to lead positive change in the community and beyond. Help them find their voice and keep this program accessible for all by donating to the Y.
Day 11 | Find Your Perspective
At the Y, neighbors from all backgrounds and walks of life discover common ground and broaden their perspectives. We truly are a community for all, so help us welcome all newcomers with open arms and caring hearts. Find your perspective and donate to ensure that the Y remains accessible to all.
Day 12 | Find Your Joy in Giving
Food for neighbors in need. Safe spaces for kids to learn & grow. Outreach to seniors who are feeling isolated. Find your cause and then find your joy in giving this holiday season. Consider volunteering at the Y this upcoming year or make a donation to the cause you feel most passionate about.
