The Annual Strong Kids Campaign is the backbone that supports the YMCA's mission of helping all people regardless of their ability to pay. Each year 100% of the dollars raised go directly to support financial assistance for youth and teen programs and memberships. In addition to your support the YMCA also engages the support of our volunteers, staff, program participants, scholarship recipients and board members. This year's campaign is launching with the largest goal the YMCA of Central Massachusetts has seen to date, $525,000. These funds raised provide financial assistance and scholarships to children, teens and families who would otherwise not be able to afford YMCA programs, such as, Afterschool, child care, summer camp and youth & teen leadership development programs. This goal will ensure that children and teens are exposed to positive role models while participating in constructive activities that build character and self-esteem. At the YMCA we believe our success will always be measured by the lives we touch. Please help us to live up to our mission of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
