together for the common good.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.

VOLUNTEERISM & GIVING
Annual Support Campaign
The YMCA Annual Campaign is a massive effort by YMCA volunteers and staff
aimed at raising funds to support hopes and dreams, to inspire the positive
change we all want to see in the world. All year long, gifts to the Annual
Campaign make a true difference in the lives of children and adults who have
the need or desire to participate in YMCA programs, but simply cannot afford
to do so.
How Can You Make an Impact?
 • You can invest in a child who is learning to swim, practicing core values
   in youth sports programs or making new friends at YMCA Camp. Your
   investment will yield a child who is a little safer, a little wiser and having a
   lot more fun!
 • You can give a teen the opportunity to learn leadership skills and build
   relationships through YMCA teen programs.
 • You can allow families to have peace of mind by giving them access to the
   YMCA, a safe, family-oriented place where people of all ages relax, play and
   connect.
 • You can share the YMCA with others in the community who can benefit
   from programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body.
By contributing to the Y’s Annual Campaign, you are making a difference in the
life of a child today and in our community for tomorrow.
If you would like to make a donation to our Annual Campaign,
visitymcadetroit.org or call 248-644-9036 ext 24.
