Why Give to the Y
At the Y, no one is turned away because of their inability to pay. That’s our promise to the community, and our Annual Giving Campaign makes it possible. The Annual Giving Campaign provides financial assistance to families and individuals in the form of Open Doors Scholarships. Open Doors members are able to build a strong sense of community at the YMCA while they participate in transformational opportunities like swim lessons, summer camp and Active Older Adult activities.
No matter who you are or where you live, the Y is a place for anyone who needs us. From healthy living programs to safe spaces, we provide opportunities for everyone to reach their full potential. Spanning Rowan and Cabarrus Counties, we award over $1 million in financial assistance to people in need each year.
But we can’t do it without you. By donating to the Y, you can help us reach more people with our programs and services. Give today For A Better Us.
