Y STRONG KIDS ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

Donate Now to the Y Strong Kids Annual Campaign!

Many families in our community can’t do it alone. Through our efforts locally, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of children – one child, one teen, and one family at a time.

In 2010, the YMCA-YWCA of Greater Victoria has adopted the national Y Strong Kids Campaign replacing Partners With Youth. This campaign will fund all of the same great programs and services provided by the Y. Branding nationally with Y Strong Kids simply provides us with media and on-line opportunities that will help to strengthen our campaign.

Local campaign kick off day is Thursday April15th, 2010!!

By giving to the Y Strong Kids Campaign, you can …

  • Help a family stay active and healthy with a YMCA-YWCA membership
  • Develop and grow a child’s self esteem and confidence from experiencing Y Camp Thunderbird
  • Give youth a chance to build leadership skills in a meaningful environment
  • Connect families to safe, high quality child care
  • Provide support, counselling, and transitional housing for young moms and their babies
  • Assist important Y Outreach Programs for at-risk youth

To make a donation:

  • Donate online at the Y Strong Kids web site
  • Fill out a Pledge Form and mail or drop off to the Downtown Branch
  • Drop by the Downtown Branch and make a donation in person.

You will have the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made an investment with a real return on every dollar.

  • A bequest in your will
