TOGETHER, we can make lives better. FOREVER.
At the Y, all people are provided the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. No one is turned away due to the inability to pay. That’s our promise to the community, and our Annual Support Campaign makes it possible. The Annual Support Campaign provides scholarships to families and individuals so they have access membership and programs. Members and participants who utilize our Open Doors Scholarship Program are able to build a strong sense of community at the YMCA while they participate in transformational opportunities like swim lessons, summer camp, Active Older Adult activities, and more!
The Y has always been there for our neighbors, and with your help, we can continue to serve everyone who needs the Y. We invite you to invest in your community through the Rowan-Cabarrus YMCA Annual Support Campaign. Think of those who rely on the Y for a sense of community, healthy living opportunities, and childcare – and consider the opportunities we can provide together.
In 2025, the Rowan-Cabarrus YMCA provided $1,292,912.35 in scholarships, so all in our communities have access to membership, programs, and services. With your support, we can continue to transform lives.
Provide Safe Spaces
In 2025, we provided $112,216 in scholarships to ensure children, like Maya, who comes to the Y every afternoon, where she feels safe, supported, and free to just be a kid. At the Y, she finds caring mentors, new friends, and a welcoming place that helps her grow in confidence and hope.
Invest in Families
In 2025, we provided $1,169,163.35 in scholarships to ensure members like the Johnston family are able to come to the YMCA, where their children learn essential swim skills in a safe and encouraging environment. What began as a financial barrier becomes a life-changing opportunity that builds confidence, safety, and lifelong memories for the whole family.
Support Our Youth
In 2025, we provided $11,533 in program scholarship to help youth, like ten-year-old Jordan, who is able to participate in boys basketball at the Y, where he learns teamwork, discipline, and confidence on and off the court. What might have been out of reach becomes a place where he belongs, grows, and believes in himself.
