"Y FOR YOU. Y FOR ALL." 2024 ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
In the heart of Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, the YMCA of Greater Toledo has been a pillar of community strength for 160 years. The YMCA of Greater Toledo, with a $26 million budget, operates more than 30 family wellness, child care, and camp facilities across five counties. In 2023 alone, the Y recorded 1.4 million visits and served 75,223 members.
This year’s Annual Campaign theme is “Y for You. Y For All,”. Annual Campaign impact goes beyond traditional membership fees, driving essential programs and activities that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. This campaign empowers the Y to be a force for positive change in the community. Let’s explore how your contribution to the Annual Campaign can make a significant impact on the lives of individuals and families throughout the region.
Making a Difference Beyond Membership Fees
While YMCA membership fees sustain the Y as a community gathering place, it is the Annual Campaign that propels the institution to make a lasting impact. The campaign funds critical programs such as child care, YMCA Storer Camps, Y Achievers, and much more. These initiatives go beyond health and wellness activities, making the YMCA accessible to everyone in the community.
