YMCA Strong Kids Campaign

YMCA Strong Kids is an annual fundraising campaign focused on raising much needed resources to support proven YMCA programs that give kids the opportunities they need to live healthier, happier lives now, but also to grow into productive adults.

Supporting the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign directly supports children, teens and young adults in your community. Everyone is welcome at the YMCA.

In 2010, monies raised through the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign and other sources supported the participation of over a quarter of a million people living in Canada, primarily children, teens and young adults.

Your generous donation will help the YMCA, to ensure people of all ages are healthier and more productive regardless of their background or financial situation.

This means:

Helping a child learn to swim
Helping a teen to learn to lead and feel success
Enabling a child to participate in a recreation or physical activity
Enabling a family to use a trusted, quality child care
Each YMCA association offers unique programs and services to meet the needs of their community -- and we have been building community for over 150 years in Canada! There are children, teens and young adults in every community that need our help. By giving today, you can help our kids build a better community for tomorrow. Every kid deserves a chance.

Thank you for your comment. The YMCAs Across Southwestern Ontario are audited by a third party on an annual basis. We are happy to share these audited statements with any potential or current donor. The funds raised by Strong Kids go directly to helping individuals in our community access programs and services they could otherwise not afford. We are proud of the impact we are making in building strong kids, strong families and strong communities.

Those that choose to donate to the local Strong Kids Campaign might want to see if their donation actually went to where they thought their donations were going the last few years. Employees have left the Y due to fraudulent practices regarding misappropriation of donations and core funder donations. I'm not saying to not donate to the Strong Kids Campaign, but ask to see where the funds go prior to signing a cheque. The United Way funds a large part of what the Y claims they do. Be wise please
