GENERAL
The Y has been so important in my life because _____________________________________. I'm volunteering in the Community Support Campaign to make sure everyone in our community has access to the Y. Join me in making a gift! Donate today at duluthymca.org/give #thisismyY
SUSTAIN THE Y
The Y has suffered significant economic loss and setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, we need the YMCA to be strong, well poised to respond to crisis, and focused on the community’s needs. Help us keep our Y strong – Donate today at duluthymca.org/give #thisismyY
Did you know that the Y has spearheaded efforts to support our community and care for those facing the greatest challenges in our community? 471 children attended YMCA child care programs for health care workers and essential employees in our area. 922 youth attended summer day camps providing vital childcare for families returning to work. 47,340 free meals were distributed to those in need by YMCA staff, and an additional 43,927 healthy meals and snacks were served across Y programs. We need the Y and now the Y needs us–Donate today at duluthymca.org/give #thisismyY
STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY
Rising unemployment, out of school learning loss, social isolation, a lack of role models and civility, and a public health crisis -Now, more than ever, our community and the most vulnerable among us need the Y. A gift to the Y Community Support Campaign provides access to Y programs and services, supports the academic success of every student, and develops the next generation of leaders.

SCHOLASTIC SUPPORT – Building Future Leaders
Did you know that the YMCA facilitates 14 afterschool sites, 4 day camps, 1 overnight camp, and countless youth sport and swim sessions that all build the confidence and skills of our youth. These programs are a lifesaver for so many families in our community and give youth the opportunity to try new things and explore their potential. $1,000 can support a Y youth development program for one year. Be part of something greater than yourself. Donate today at duluthymca.org/give #thisismyY
