Each summer, nearly half of the children who attend our summer camp program receive assistance through the YMCA’s financial assistance program. This is made possible thanks to precious funds donated to the YMCA by generous donors like you.
As a result of the pandemic, we expect the need for assistance to be even greater this summer. At the Y, we remain dedicated to providing a fun and safe summer camp experience for all children, but we can’t do it alone. To ensure that the Y’s mission can continue to thrive and help those children in our community who need it most, we need your support more than ever.
We invite you to invest in our community’s youth by making a charitable contribution to the YMCA’s 2021 Send a Kid to CampCampaign, which will run April 12-30. Your gift, in any amount, will help to ensure that every child has the opportunity to benefit from an engaging and impactful summer camp experience.
Donate today by visiting your local YMCA branch or making a tax-deductible donation online.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all gifts to the YMCA are tax-deductible.
As part of our continued efforts to help families in our community navigate the mental health repercussions of COVID-19, we are proud to announce the Y’s partnership with Pop Culture Hero Coalition and Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital to present “Resilience, Empathy, Healthy Screen-time: An Honest Conversation” on Thursday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m.
