Donate
Although fundraising is a year-round endeavor, our six-week Annual Partners Campaign is when hundreds of volunteers from our local branches commit to fundraising in their communities. These volunteers tell our mission-driven Y-story at fun and educational events and gain valuable leadership skills. People who have received scholarships and financial support and benefited from enriching and engaging programs inspire community members to donate and reach out in service to one another.
Our 2008 Annual Partners Campaign goal is $700,000. We fund raised over $590,000 in 2007.
Here’s an example of what your contribution, large or small, can do:
- $50 teaches swimming and water safety to one child
- $100 sends one child to day camp for a summer of fun and exploration
- $250 puts 8 kids on the basketball court, soccer field or swimming pool
- $800 sends a teen to Sacramento to participate in the Youth & Government Model Legislature
- $1,000 gives 20 kids in East Oakland a safe place to do homework after school
“Everyday in my work at the YMCA, I am deeply moved by the generosity of others.”
