ANNUAL SUPPORT

The Y works to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the nation's health and well-being, and give back and support our neighbors. Every day we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. At the Y, no child, family or adult is turned away. We recognize that for communities to succeed, everyone must be given the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. When you give to the Y, you strengthen our community. As the nations leading nonprofit for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y uses your gift to make a meaningful and enduring impact right in your neighborhood.

The YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg has kicked off its 2011 Strong Kids Annual Member Support Campaign. The Annual Member Campaign provides financial support to individuals and families in need, so they can participate in YMCA programs and services. Funds raised directly support the Y’s cause of strengthening communities by nurturing the potential of every youth and teen, improving the nation’s health and well being and providing opportunities to give back and support neighbors. Providing financial support is critical to the Y’s goal of ensuring that everyone has access to programs and services that support healthy living.

Gifts to the Y make a direct impact on the community. When you support the Strong Kids Annual Campaign you make it possible for children and families to participate in YMCA programs regardless of their ability to afford them.
