Give the Gift of a Y Experience this FITMAS IN JULY!

While FITMAS IN JULY brings a season of fun and silliness, it also shines a spotlight on something truly vital: the YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo's commitment to ensuring everyone in our community has access to a Y experience.

At the heart of our mission, we believe that every person in the community deserves a Y experience. This summer, will you help us uphold that belief by supporting the Y's Financial Assistance program?

Your Gift: A Lifeline to Our Community

Did you know that 1 out of every 3 members at our Maple and Portage Ys rely on financial assistance? In 2024 alone, the Y provided over $820,000 in aid, guaranteeing that no one was turned away due to an inability to pay. Last year, through campaigns like this one, we raised over $450,000, and we're constantly striving to bridge that gap.

Your gift, regardless of the amount, directly helps us continue offering crucial financial aid to those seeking to nurture their body, mind, and spirit:

  • The teenager who needs a safe place to connect after school.
  • The family looking to build stronger bonds and create lasting memories.
  • The single parent striving to strengthen their family unit.
  • The elderly individual seeking a vibrant community for socialization.
  • The cancer survivor diligently working to rebuild strength and muscle mass.

Make an Impact Today!

Your gift enables the Y to provide any one of these or many, many others.  Please consider a gift amount that will help us bring opportunities like these, essential health & wellness experiences, to our community ensuring the Y remains a place FOR ALL.
