COMMUNITY PARTNERS
ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
The Woodson YMCA’s program and membership fees do
not cover all the costs of supporting programs for low
income adults and children. As a nonprofit organization,
contributions are a critical source of income, helping to
ensure our promise that no one is ever denied access
to our YMCA programs or facilities because of inability
to pay. Your gift will help young people achieve their
potential, empower people of all ages to lead healthier
lives and strengthen the bonds of our community.
VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers, by their very nature, help root the Woodson YMCA
to its identity as an association of people motivated by an ethic
of service. See of listing of ways you can help support your
community through the Woodson YMCA as a volunteer under
the “Get Involved” tab on our website.
The Community Partners Campaign is our primary means
of reaching out to the community for support. Only by
working together can we give more community members
the opportunity to grow strong in spirit, mind and body.
For more information on how you can help support those
in need, please call Kathy Peterson at 845-2177 or visit
the Social Responsibility tab of our website to learn
more.
HERITAGE FUND
The Heritage Fund of the Woodson YMCA Foundation, Inc.
provides a system to fund important YMCA programs that
require subsidy. It is there to fund essential programs for
at-risk youth, low-income families, adults (many with special
needs), group homes and dislocated workers. The fund will be
administered by the Woodson YMCA Foundation Board of
Directors to extend and perpetrate the service of the YMCA
to the community and to support the YMCA legacy. Learn
more in our online brochure!
A Heritage Fund investment strengthens the YMCA’s
capacity to provide programs for low income
people, which build relationships, improve skills,
and promote health. If you are interested in helping
the YMCA support its charitable work, by making a
gift to the Heritage Fund, please contact Executive
Director Bryan Bailey to discuss your contribution.
